You told me one night in the hush of darkness and shroud of deceit that you didn’t know what love is. The shadows hid my tears You told me, as I held myself that you weren’t happy but hoping the next day would be better than the last. The wind carried away the sound of my pain You smiled my way feeling relief of honesty, not conscience of my wounds. Yet you still withheld and I still hoped. The innocence of my heart shattered in the whispered words of another night. So now that I am stronger you say you love me, you need me and can’t bare to lose me. But the breeze carried the empty of your words away and barely brushed my face. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
