Understanding

Why!? Tell me Why!? Old lover!
Not of time not of the mind.
How could you leave me for black waters?

Crazy man! Who gave you eyes?
Eyes that are blind and can not see passed what is  true and what is false.
A spot, a blemish I have none but surely these are what she has.
How could you forget I was your first!?
But still you let her go before me.
No different from all the swines and dogs that have run into my life only to find that they have run out from under me.
No surprise but do not cry for my tears will cover for yours.
Forgiveness I give but a excuse I do not wish to hear.
For there are no words to replace where your heart should have been.
