-Jacklyn-

"It is better to love and lost than never to have loved at all"
Is the greatest lie
It's the only thing in this world
That makes me want to cry

I fell in love at the age of twelve
To a girl with long brown hair
But things never worked out for me
And I moved away from there

I fell in love at fifteen
To a girl with baby blue eyes
But I never worked out for me
I lived too long by lies

I swore off love when I moved
The pain was just to strong
But my oaths soon washed away
When Jacklyn came along

Her gentle ways, her soft kind smile
Were all it seemed to take
To clear away the all of the pain
That my life suddenly ceased to make

I lost Amanda at thirteen
Due to reasons not my own
I lost Jacklyn at sixteen
By the lies that I had shown

ORAH MARINE CORPS!!! Is what I'd say
When asked about my dream
To bad that I just found out
My dream is down the road from me

I've dug to deep to dig back out
My hole will be my grave
Buried by my own lies
By my deceptions, I am a slave

Jacklyn, if you read this
I love you with all my heart
I'm only sorry my stupidity
Drove us so far apart

If the sun doesn’t rise tomorrow
If I die in my sleep
I can go with out fear
To know you'll never weep

Give your smile to another man
Let him have my wishful fate
May he never, ever make you cry
To live that dream, for me its too late

I love you
