The Last Letter

The Last Letter - Griffin

Why do you treat me as if I was only a friend

What have I done

That has made you so different and cold

Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again

Will you be happy when you are withered and old

I cannot offer you diamonds or mansions so fine

I cannot offer you the clothes that your young body crave

But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine

Think of the heartaches the teardrops and sorrow you'll save

When you are weary and tired of another man's gold

When you are lonely and remember this letter my own

Don't try to answer though I've suffered angry untold

If you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone

While I am writing this letter I think of the past

And of the promises that you have broken so free

And to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last

I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
