Honest Words

For all those sins & reckless lies. For all the time and tears and sacrifice And all his honest words too late, too shallow now to vindicate A futile bid at any rate And far too little to suffice She saw the time that passed her by, Too weak to look within and wonder why Had torn apart and wrought to dust The little things which earned his trust. That bruised their lips and stirred her lust and left him burning in reply But now it seems just far too real And strange there isn't more beneath to feel A numbness spreads and quells his heart, together seems now so apart The ending once again, the start The ever spinning wheel.
