Give Me Time

Give me time
To recollect recent events
In such a short while
Years of loving you has met its 
end
Its been buried now
Pretty words decorate its grave

Give me a moment
To convince my heart that it is 
not broken
Merely wounded, weeping and 
bleeding
Injuries were caused by words 
unspoken
But they're dead now
They're only scabs waiting to 
disappear

Give me a lifetime
To believe the awful thing 
you've done
For such a long time
You kept well hidden your truer 
self
But its gone now
I hope it stays the fuck away 
from me

Give me time
To rehearse the lies that I'm 
weaving
A heart-grinding crime
Telling myself that you don't still 
mean anything
But you've left now
And I hope you stay where you 
are.
