Years

Jennifer Paige©1995

For years

One the verge of tears

Then the clouds burst

And the acid rain stings your eyes

And you cry

You thought the world of him

Then idealism shattered

The broken shards stab your heart

But you’re already numb

For years

He’s felt you pull away

And his heart broke

He sets you down and wonders why

And you die

            With his lie

            His insincerity

            And his broken halo

            And time can never mend

            His carelessness

            All the lies

            For years
