I have a feeling I just lost you, For what reason stands clear in my mind. The least you could do, Is turn around and say goodbye. Have at least that much decency, To stand up and look into my eyes. I promise you I will not be the one to cry. Through the breakups in my past, I have found that love never lasts. When I met you that thought slipped my mind, How could I ever be so blind. I recall a time when I wanted love to replace all I had, Now that thought is just battered, bloody and has gone bad. Now that you’re slipping away from me, It helps me see more clearly, That love is a battlefield, Being forever played in my heart with much misery. Now that you made my heart sink into a bottomless pit, The pity I have for you is not the least bit. I know how you perceived me, But it was all a lie, You can’t say that I didn’t try, To make our relationship work time after time. I gave up hope on you, Those six days you didn’t call. After that rumor that I heard, It makes me wonder if you even cared at all. I still know not the truth, And still you do not respond, Why are you leaving me here. Stuck in the middle of love or lie, It makes me want to cry. But I have enough moral value to get me by. If a tear is shed upon my pillow, It is because true love escaped me once again. And left me hanging high and dry. Once alone again. At least now I can move on, Forget about the troubles that you pressed on. By tossing your words out the window, I can spread my wings, And start to fly again.Birth sign: Gemini
