The Antidote

Even the legendary Stevie Wonder, Can see the trail of your many lies. The storm brought lightning and thunder, Yet I remained blind in a false paradise The shelter which I provided Just wasn’t good enough. Through the dark maze I guided, Hoping you’d follow my love. I awoke only to discover, That I was totally alone. You chose another lover, And it hurt me to the bone! I buried all the pain, By writing poems ‘til my fingers bled. I thought I would go insane, Maybe wind up lost or dead! My heart continued to ache, And still I constantly wrote. Now you live with your mistake. Leaving you was my antidote!!
