Enlighten Me

I don’t really know what’s going on,
What I do know is that I am groping in the dark.
I thought that we were friends,
Till you left me standing, and turned your back on me.
I still don’t understand
How you could go from calling me "angel"
To ignoring my presence, all within the same month.
I’m confused, and I wish you would tell me what’s going on.
If you don’t care anymore,
Don’t you even have the balls to man up and tell me?
You gave me a few weeks of happiness,
And for that, maybe I should be grateful.
You came into my life with flowers,
That are now withering away, turning black.
Enlighten me honey,
How you can be so cold,
Enlighten me,
How you can be so heartless.
When I gave you my heart,
And trusted you,
I believed that you would never hurt me,
Yet, even now... I just don’t understand.
I know you’re a good person,
I know that once upon a time, not too long ago,
You cared for me.
 I have a feeling, you just don't anymore....

Hi Angie, it is sad when we give our hearts to he/she we think are worthy. Never do we stop and think, how long the enlighting feeling is going to last, for some of us, it is a lifetime. Others, it's like you said, it withers and turns black. A fabulous deep write. love SKAT
