His Own Confusion
Twist on the tongue of a union set so wrong
On the wish that such partnerships have made themselves strong.
Dreams in denial, can I live through this trial,
With a hardening heart and a well tutored smile.
Believing there's no better, is this as good as it gets?
Looking away from my deep instincts and ignoring all my regrets,
Lock down my dreams and pretend it's all great
And one day he'll wake up and find it's too late.
Too late to get back all those years that you wasted
Because I tried to stand by YOU, but you could not give your whole.
Because you thought that my love was enough love for two,
To discover how wrong when my love has dried through.
Now you will see the the error, it will tear you apart.
With resentment I realize how it was from the start.
And though my struggles now cease, your torment doesn't end,
Having hurt most the one you once loved and kept as a friend.
