No reaction to the first one, so I'll try one more. I hear it as a Springsteen type rock song. Anger and despair
Found and Lost
(c) 2001 Tom Ward
Last night I came home, the house was empty and dark
I’d known it was coming, but still it hit hard
Took a look around, saw the note on the door
It said, "Billy I’m gone, there’s nothing here anymore"
We’d made plans for our future, seeking something that lasts
Never knowing, never guessing how soon it would pass
I was Adam in the Garden
And you were my Eve
‘Til death do us part
We promised and believed
But the bond’s come undone
And we’re paying the cost
Paradise with you baby,
Was found and lost
Eight years gone by; who knows where they went
We wound up like prisoners locked behind a fence
Not any one thing brought us to this place
Just straws piling high, ‘til we collapsed from the weight
What had once seemed so perfect has turned so wrong
Now the only question left is, what took so long?
I was Adam in the Garden
And you were my Eve
‘Til death do us part
We promised and believed
But the bond’s come undone
And we’re paying the cost
Paradise with you baby,
Was found and lost
From the heights of love’s passion
To the depths of despair
We shared all life’s emotions
But now I don’t even care
I was Adam in the Garden
And you were my Eve
‘Til death do us part
We promised and believed
But the bond’s come undone
And we’re paying the cost
Paradise with you baby,
Was found and lost
Paradise with you……
Was found and lost

Hey Tom,
first, what jt said in your other post. This board is not the most active here  but hopefully we can change that 
I can't make it here as much as I'd like either 
Now about your song. Love the chorus. The first line tho seems a little stilted.
Last night I came home, the house was empty and dark
If you were talking you probably wouldn't say Last night I came home, instead you'd say I came home last night. But it doesn't work well either. 
and in the bridge I'd drop the even.
From the heights of love’s passion
To the depths of despair
We shared all life’s emotions
But now I don’t care
Or maybe you could change it to:
From the heights of love’s passion
The depths of despair I hit.
We shared all life’s emotions
But now I don’t give a ............
or maybe not...............
