He pours himself another drink, Trying to drown his sorrow; And if it doesn't work tonight, He'll try again tomorrow. Lying in a darkened room, His thoughts turn to her eyes; He used to swim in them, While she told him little lies. She stepped on his pride, Never turned back to see his face; He still dreams of her at night, Soft images of satin and lace. She's never seen a man cry, He waited until she was gone; She'd be surprised to see him now, He looks so pale and withdrawn. To her they were just little lies, And now she tells them to another; But there's hollow pain in his eyes, Because she hurt him like no other. ------------------ Shannon D. Montgomery ("Krystal") |
