So Much For That
I might as well have lost everything
the moment I lost you.
The conviction and will
to wake to the morning sun
died with those three words...
"It's over, sorry"
The casual tone and
washed over look of sheer apathy
stung worse than those three words
repeated over and over
as if I hadn't heard it the first time
thank you very much.
I wondered what happened to
Always and Forever
and what happened to all the promises you
seemingly effortlessly whispered in my ear,
ever so lovingly... in the heat of the moment, I assume.
I refused to believe you,
my love, my life, my heart and soul...
that YOU were capable of lying to me.
But you abused my trust,
Tore my life in two,
Broke my heart
And killed my soul.
I see it all now,
as clear and sure as I am sitting here writing this.
You can break me, abuse me,
but you will never completely destroy me.
Your lies are meaningless against the truth I hold,
the knowledge that I can do,
so much better than you.
