The Test

May 8, 2013

Don't try to fake the pain in the midst of the shame At first you claim, "I'm not the one to blame." But when your words are put to trial your schemes cringe in a downward spiral Did you really think your dial, wouldn't show your nitch for denial? Had me fooled for a while, silly mind games Thought I was winning While you picked your cheats from a familiar pile Did the laughs go for nothing? and the smiles? and tears? Guess I was a fool to think you could sustain love for all these years

Some like it simple, some like it sweet. Either way it goes, I'll still be me. Been rollin' on the river of love for quite some time now, but it seems my boats about to go down. Funny thing is, I'm in here alone, and I'm staring at my reflection, while I contemplate my home. It seems I am alone on this dark rolling sea, which started as a flower, but now is stinging like a bee. My words are not simple, they aren't tranquil, they may be brash, but if you aren't careful you'll find your soul strangled in my clasp.
