Prelude of Goodbye

Your words serve no purpose as I glance into the moonlit sky. My heart steps 
back  as you question why my apologies are turning into a prelude of  
goodbye.                                                                                                                                   
   Regretting the head games I played solely on myself. Seeing my tears turn into 
fortune with you dancing around my memory's wealth.
   Believing I found happiness in someone I never learned to trust. Tainted 
feelings captured understanding our love had only the characteristics of lust.
   My mind quick to be selfish now, wanting to regain no less than all my heart's 
misguided pride. My heart in truth, a foolish stronghold, waiting to ask a liar why 
he lied.
