There Is Nothing
There's nothing I can say and nothing I can do
to clearly convey the way I feel about you.
There's nothing you can say and nothing you can do
that can change the past that we've been through.
What's done is done, we did what we did
can't change the past, or the horrible lies we hid.
Truth always wins out, its always revealed
reshatters the lives that lies broke but since healed.
All trust now gone, it can't be returned
trepidation and fear of being burned
Can't forget the hard lessons that we learned
never the way that either of us yearned.
No matter the words, the actions, or all out tries
we will never get past the deception, the lies
The past now past will not be forgot
it tempers our judgment clouds our thoughts.
Suspicion distrust and both full of doubt
unable too forget what this was all about.
No starting anew, no clean slate to be had
all good things forgotten but never the bad.
Deserving of better we best part our ways
if ever to enjoy life out from under this haze.
