Turn Tables
Tables have turned
And now I'm the one to blame
The turning that pushed me and put me to shame
Betrayal,disloyalty and dishonesty is on my name
Consciously the intention was untitled
Till Subconscious schemed to cause you pain;
Disloyal, the title conformed to my name
The reflection i see in my mirror
Smeared with the look of disgust
But the blurry image shines with hurt-betrayed look
''I didn't mean to do it'' its what plays like a song in this portrait
Put on repeat like a hit song
To get me well acquainted with remorse
But i tend to confuse it with regret
Tables have turned and I'm on the other side
Tables have turned and i can only see your innocence
Your sincerity reminds me of the clean slate i prepared for you
But mine was smeared with dark spots of untrustworthy
Tables have turned and i wish you could reposition them
Hearts broken,
I wonder who will mend them
Sorry can't even cut a wet tissue
But i just wish you to understand,
To broken hearts be the rescue
If you get this message,know that i couldn't say this in person.
