Well Maybe

Am I deceived
How will I know
My mind plays the Devil
My heart tells me no

Little things that you said
When you opened your heart
Belied what you told me
When you broke me apart

Pain pierced my heart
Tears scarred my eyes
Each second a lifetime
Fakes smiles hid the lies

How long can a day last
Forever it seems
Tears falling like burnt leaves
Into Autumns lonely streams

Then one day I woke up
And your back close to me
No reason, no mention
Of why this might be

But my heart lifts to heaven
My soul is unchained
The tears and the heartache
Forgotten, no blame

Now life feels so happy
Yet doubt clouds my mind
They say loves a blindness
We all want to find

Never be too happy
It’s a long way to fall
It happened so quickly
Sweet words I recall

This time much more gentle
Words I believed to be true
“Its time that I need now”
“But I wont forget you”

So here I am now
In this place in my life
Struggling for the words
To describe what its like

Who knows what will happen
Do I want it to be
Will you remember your promise
Well maybe……….well maybe
