We didn't need words-
Lover don't you say a thing; I know just what you need:
Honesty, gently caressing wrinkles of past lies good-bye.
Trust me with your life and I'd sooner trade mine before I see yours betrayed; friend.
More than a man, but lately in the museum of you on display I see a boy:
Hiding behind empty promises as if they were the mother that shields you
Showering me with distractions when I've already seen the real you.
My pockets too acquainted with empty; I know better than to want any more than I need
Simplicity offers peace, but greed seems to be the spark of insanity.
And the torch you handed to me encased in gold, outlined in platinum.
In turn I gave you all I could; my promise to be all that I could and my word is my bond.
I gave you my most prized possession: my fragile heart.
To write this is to admit that I feel too fast.
Reality came back in the form of five foot nine, eyes green, like envy,
Ivory skin; created from poison, isn't she?
But she's not my enemy my disappointment is in you.
I don't drown in my tears because in me hope still floats for you.
Am I dreaming again?
Drifting between bitter sweet moments again.
Don't know where my smile begins and where ends the sound of this slowly breaking heart.
It's like 'we' were over before you and I got the chance to start.
