True Love Waits
Vows sworn for a sacred true commitment,
lust has become trust lost in just two weeks-
I’m living my days in pure resentment,
I'm no longer able to think or speak.
Our sanctioned safeguard torn from your appeal,
your foul hunger left you starving for more-
My passion and honor could you not feel?
Infidelity and bankrupt; so poor.
This betrayal has ripped my loyal soul,
broken pieces of glass instead of hope-
Who is this crude woman who makes you whole?
My intuition lacked a microscope.
Your deceit created a breach of trust-
Because you couldn’t control your filthy lust.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You begged on bent knee for my pardon,
promised me to be faithful one more time-
But my soft heart has begun to harden,
can I picture us in bed at nighttime?
My forgiveness can only be given,
if honest love awaits in your future-
It’s a tough situation to live in,
but you’ve always been my sewn-on suture.
I needed you in our youthful sweet dreams,
I need you now if a promise you give
assurance to warrant my self-esteem,
because without you, love, I cannot live.
Absolution with compassion is sworn-
If promised loyalty without forlorn.
