" The Book Of Shadows "

I dreamt of you last night
Turning pages
Amid the "Book Of Shadows"
You cast a spell
Never even knowing
The spell would break my heart
You opened up
The world to me
And then you broke it down
I cried a river
On your satin shoulders
You told me of the Love you'd lost
And how you needed
To go back
You held me close, then let me know
The time had come
For you to let me go
And when you took me deep inside
The infamous
"Book Of Shadows"
I cried again for the man
You'd lost
I never knew a Love
So well endowed
And so I held your hand  
Told you I understand
And in the end
It broke my heart but now I comprehend
You showed me what Love
Is truly like
"The Book Of Shadows"
Had invaded my dreams
And you'd exposed
My heart....
