Marriage

That perfect ring Made of gold Slips from my finger As the story unfolds..... Thought that I had found A love to last, Escaped the demons Of my past. But pure evil Is what I found Not my long sought dream Of a safer ground, Endless pain Seems to be my path; Never learned how To escape it's wrath. So now Here alone I sit Stupidly lost In this bottomless pit And how I love The way you manipulate All your love Now turns to hate Crucifying me for All your sins, Leaving me tangled In that web of lies You live in. And here is where I don't want to be Here is where I never thought I'd find you and me, Betrayal was once A long forgotten friend Making me believe Someday soon I'd mend; But those lies Can't be laid to rest Especially when they Continue to infest. And this love, This perfect love I thought would live No longer has any give; Picture perfect Was this place Picture perfect Till I watched it erase. Watched that picture perfect love Turn cold As you laid a new one Out like a centerfold, And now that You want me back Compassion is what I lack. There is no love left Here where hate breeds, No place left For your demon's to feed I've turned my back And fogotten you Maybe it's time you do too.
