Goodbye
Tornadoes swirled within
I tossed and turned all night through
Trying to find sleep
But the noise was just to deafening, my instinct wouldn’t give in
Ripped my heart in two, it bleed me dry
I saw no sense in holding on, when the tables turned
When all the masquerades gained detail,
I didn’t like what I saw, too many faces to so many lies
So I kicked the chair and prayed you held onto the cord
I couldn’t bare not being without you
But I was such a love blinded fool
Couldn’t see through you, the lies
Couldn’t hear your hearts cry, Goodbye
My conscience had no pride to congratulate
The little strength I had, disappeared
As the sun gives way to dark.
When the cards are dealt.
I find myself recalling all the times you said I love You.
Each time those three words leave your lips in retrospect
I realise it was nothing more than empty words covered with sugared lies
The sweetness gave way to bitterness
And just like the going fire
My body grew cold and my staggering heart beat grew still
The sun set.
And life went on .
