I Never Knew

The battle was won

It was over and done

The victory is you

But I never knew



The tears were wept

Darkness came and crept

It dragged life through

But I never knew



No emotion in your eyes

Always showing hidden lies

It was always all just untrue

But I never knew



All could see the hurt shows

Did you know everybody knows?

It never came and hit me out of the blue

But I never knew



Tell me, was it worth going through?

Because I was the one who never knew

How sad that you were the last to learn of the deception, Chris. This happens so often to people with kind, sincere hearts and it can be very hurtful. I hope you find someone who returns your love and sincerity. Love, Carolyn
