The Heart on my Sleeve
What Could have Been
I am your only, your love, and your life you lie
as you then lie with your other
other love, other life, other only
your wife
I hide my tears
another mask made
the true me, now truly
hidden away
I chose your path, you said you’d provide
left existence behind us
you promised me life
We shared a soul-had a meeting of minds
Was that just a dream, or one of your lies?
Scribed into my flesh for all to see
I wear our love
A literal heart on my sleeve
The night you denied your love for me
tore me to pieces-but you couldn’t see
I ran a bath, I needed to show you-the carnage you’d caused with your disloyalty
Through gaps in the blind
bled into the room, stripes of vermillion
they spilt across you
In this red morning light you finally stirred
but because of the liquor
your memories blurred
You reached out, expecting
but I was not found
Calling out, listening
but there was no sound
Awake now, you notice the cold white glow, outlining the door, showing which way to go
The damage you caused is easy to see
roles have reversed now
I’ve finally shown you how much you hurt me
Tears streaming down, your soul laid bare,
Now you’re the one feeling, while I don’t care
Piaciuto o affrontato da...
