Its because she never loved you... They broke a thousand hearts They destroyed every dream They told you how it had to be They told you how it would end. Their words were the weapons Brutally wielded, cutting deep It was mere truth that salts Then I lie my head down and weep A lie unveiled the future failed So I hold out my hands I show where once placed a heart Now merely times sand And they said And they spoke And I cried Its because she never loved you I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith [This message has been edited by Walter Poe (03-15-2014 06:41 AM).] |

Never accept a second opinion and never follow your instincts. I've heard that said Walter, but I never believed it. Yours is a paradox in poetry and a tragedy of affections splendidly crafted. Touch, but don't look |

Heh.Heh I agree with Lori's summation. ~*~ Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.--James Joyce ~*~ |
