Burned Bed

Betray came my way that day
I watched as you took her
You did not see 
The anger from me 

The way my body trembled 
The hurt from dismay
You of all people 
I am ashamed of your name

Now i will leave you invain
No pain just an anger
Dangerous sound from my scream 
Temper getting stronger

Walk away day 
You still don't know 
My bed of all beds 
You leave my heart dead

I saw the way you caress her
A touch i have had not learned 
I was frozen as i watched you
I became lost so unknown

As i walked away 
My tears followed me
But my spirt left me 
As you burned our bed ...
