Starting off, everything was fine
and my lonely world was at peace.
You were so sweet and I was kind.
Together we sought our release.
I over filled you with my love
and gave and gave and gave some more.
But when you thought you had enough,
you were gone, walking out my door.
We drank the wine of happiness
tapped from ancient romantic kegs.
Now I have only lonliness
as I drink all those bitter dregs.
I wanted to believe that line,
"just don't you worry about him."
But you were just marking the time
until you could see him again.
A lovely temptress, through and through;
all that I could ever desire.
True, you never said "I love you,"
for then you would be a liar.
|
I accept you are lost to me
and things will never be the same.
I wish to be alone and free
and bury my sad sense of shame.
The summer's heat to you is cool,
to me it's a forge of fire.
But I was tempered in your pool
and will come out flying higher.
I know now you will rarely change;
you cling to the dead and the past.
I offered you a fair exchange:
you could have had a love to last.
These flowers now represent us;
their fading you cannot ever mend.
All things someday pass away; thus:
they slowly die as we, too, end. |
