What I Wished For

The sky is blue 
every one knows this to be true
but my love for you
is more than saying I DO


these are the words he said to me
covering is actions and intentions like covered tea
acting as the man i wanted him to be 
painting the picture i always wanted to see


the tears in my eyes are beyond full
making me regret i was ever faithful  
breaking my heart and pride 
but has left my eyes opened wide


all i feel is nothing but pain
with nothing to gain 
would i ever again fell the same 
with the way he made my heart a game 
living me to sink in the sea of shame 


i try to think of forgiveness 
but all that comes to my heart are the words of revenge 
yet my spirit can't stand such wickedness
making another person pass through such twinge
