The Cat Ate the Rat Who Ate the Bat

NEVER LIE TO THE SKY You promised to make rainbows last forever Primary colors that would refuse to fade My belief in your vow proved I’m not that clever I believed every promise you ever made You said that whenever my eyes aimed for the sky Wherever I looked toward where sparrows fly I would see a rainbow that refused to die But like so many promises it was all a lie Blue was the color of your eyes and the sky Yellow was the color of your hair spun of gold You said red would remain as long as we’re together And that a rainbow would still be there through inclement weather You told me that rainbows were created for only me and you A couple holding hands in a park on a breezy blessed day But I learned rainbows eventually fade because that’s what they do And along with our rainbows you also soiled and spoiled the Milky Way © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
