Rubble

I used to believe and understand 
The sense that you no longer make
Pardon me and no offense 
But I think you’ve had a psychic break 

I’ve seen the light slowly fading 
Dying in your once vibrant eyes
Beginning from when you let go
Into the maelstrom of lies

I wish I’d listened when Mother said
You’d bring me only grief and trouble 
I felt so connected with you then 
Upon our steaming heap of rubble 

We made a pact to live our dream
United in a sacred vow
But I knew as soon as you met him
That things had changed somehow
