Woman Without Love


Her eyes tell the story so well
She tries hard to hide
So little expected
Too often neglected,
A woman stripped of her pride

Always so careful not to cry
Untill I fall asleep
And there in the silence
She lies with a tear on her cheek

The thought comes to mind
Did I read it somehow
Or hear it, I can't quite recall

That a  man without love is only half of a man
But a woman is nothing at all

She knows I don’t love her
Although heaven knows  how I tried
Her reason for living
Is to go right on giving
The one thing that she’s been denied

Without any warning
In the wee hours of the morning she cries
And the hurt deep inside, she tries so to hide
Is beginning to show in her eyes

The thought comes to mind
Did I read it somehow
Or hear it, I can’t quite recall

That a man without love is only half of a man
But a woman is nothing at all

Yeah a man without love is only half of a man
But a woman is nothing at all
