Sentence

He sits there looking back Wishing he knew then Everything he knew now His words burned her skin Bruised and bleeding of all he lacks She knew wounds can heal But some would leave scars He doesn’t see the years He just let it go too far Until she could no longer feel As long as she was blind His words were all she heard Had her in his grasp She was his little caged bird Until one day she made up her mind She opened her eyes Now he’s left standing alone With his bag of mistakes Her heart is now of stone But she looks to the sky He realizes he had it all Of love that slipped away Love oh so good Her colors turned to gray A star began to fall If only he reached out Took her by the hand He wouldn’t be looking back On a hourglass emptied of sand On what he brought about He’s the real reason For the scars she wears What a sentence to carry For losing something so rare Now endure the cold season He will forever curse the day For never being the man Left with less than nothing A life he never planned For she’s far flown away
