Mist in the Morning
It feels just like a knife through the heart
I think of every excuse, a camouflage of lies
But there’s no covering this one up
And that hope I’d reserved for you, I watch as it dies
It’s a stumbling, stuttering, staggering death
For this yellow, glassy-eyed, lying creature
Every word dripping with bright red deceit
I’m shutting down this horrible, gory double feature
You watch as I fall apart, and I close my eyes
Sway on your feet, as tears roll down my cheek
Like poison in your mouth, never will you say the words
I wait in silence, but you don’t speak
Never will you admit to yourself what you are
Never an apology, a thank you, or a hug
I don’t reach for you, I just walk away
I’ll make my bed in this grave that you’ve dug
The hope I had for you evaporates like mist in the morning
We both know the truth, every “No” stings with deceit
The burns of betrayal, the damage of disappointment
Everything I had to give, is laying discarded at your feet
