Grimace

Chasing shadows 
In summer meadows
Lingering by the wayside
Watching memories of you die

Fighting worry
Fending off doubt 
Love becomes blurry
Feelings turned inside out

You wrote me love letters 
Full of empty promises
When my heart thinks of you
It grimaces 

I cried over you a hundred years
Or at least it seems

My world ended 
When you said goodbye

A piece of me died
When you lied
And said you still loved me 

Inquiring minds want to know
Why you stole the heart
Of a never ending love?
