To Him

Weren't you just the life of the party
With me...content to be
Somewhere silently listening to the laughter
Myself as company
Yes I was faithful far too long
And what I thought was wrong, was wrong.
But I'm still loyal
I do believe
Not a crooked card was delt to me
For free...
I paid with my virtue
I prayed with my heart
That still I could love you
Inspite of the dark
Nature, that drove you so
It's all I remember
Yet no one can know
How it's constantly playing the Blues in my mind
And it hasn't subsided that often I find
So if I dream
It means I've slept
But a dream is not a dream at all...
If I've wept.
So when this bitter taste has swelled my lips
And the salt remains on fingertips
Isn't a thought as just as this...
One great & giant secret
She shall spy
One day, one hour, one minute...
As have I.

I definitely read the contempt in these lines. Giving away one's virtue is a high price for a private lesson! Really a great write poetically speaking:)
