Twisted truth threw my heart away today,
And it stomped on my soul
Once again.
How can I be so in love with you,
And despise what you do
At the same time?
All I wanted was honest love,
One on one, and nothing between us,
But alas, I am staring into the abyss
Of another tortured moment
Where reality set in.
I am not the "one" as they say,
I am just one.
How can I come back to a place
That never really existed?
My heart has gotten smarter,
And it braces for the agony
That is to come.
How can I return as if it
Meant nothing at all,
When you knew it meant
Everything to me?
I didn't mix the words,
I didn't flourish them.
The were straight as an arrow
And pointed.
How can I see past the pain?
Time lies to me,
Telling me it will fix it all,
But it's not true,
As I sit here in anguish
And each ticking second crawls by
Just laughing.
There's no healing--
So, how can I?
