Wasted breath upon my chest
Your apologetic cries vacant of truth
A phallic way, you try to impel my thoughts
Masquerading the factualism behind it all
A charlatan, a cheat you are
Diluding the actions of your sins
Presiding yourself as the victim
Another long-winded,air-castle dream
I just wasn't enough to sate your needs
Your parsimonious goals
To the arms of another you fled
Painted on pleasantries,diveying your role
Turning my life into a dispondent mess
Forgiveness will never fall from these lips
Your fate lies within far worse hands
I will no longer cry desolate tears
You will know my woes,feel my anguish
The haunting of what could have been will
Sit upon your doorstep as a reminder.....
Goodbye my misery.
