I Need To Hear It From You
How long have you shared
your secret lover with the world
the one you kept from my ears
did you decide to move on
last night while we made love
or was it this morning
when I still had reason
to believe in you
perhaps it was Sunday
as I cleaned the rooms
while you walked the dog
how long have I been
your excuse to leave early
where in the world
did you promise to travel to
as I made your favorite bread
I need to hear it from you
how a life time spent by my side
has lost its meaning to you
what covenants were made
as you broke
all of your covenants made to me
you will never know
the safety of my kiss again
