Another Lover

Too many faces in one face
Too many happenings in one phase
It's like I've been hit with a mace
Stabbed in the back, no one to embrace

Which is which, corn or maize?
I'm confused, yet amazed 
You used to set my heart ablaze 
And there was no way I could resist your gaze

I promised to pursue, to chase!
Perhaps it's time I quit the maze
I can no longer bear the hurt, the disgrace...
Tracy, Gracie, Nancy, Even in your case
I couldn't find Grace

It's time I take a new dimension 
I refuse to waste space
I'll direct my pace to another
I'll chase another lover
This time, I'll pursue the Lord
My heart is safe with him.
