Nothing But A Pity Downfall

I'm sorry I believed you.

And here I am again in an empty house

Thoughts of the past linger around me,

Reminding me of all the reasons why

I'm alone.

 

Alas, I am not alone,

For my God's love surrounds my broken soul.

And I never want his wretched promises he spoke,

That I knew were nothing but lies,

To ever reappear again in my life.

 

All I know is I'll be fine,

Someday I'll be fine.

And on that day I'll look back and realize

That all of these lonely days weren't wasted.

Wasted would be an understatement

To what I'll, on that day, find.

 

And I can't wait for that day

Because as for now all I find myself do is wait

But waiting for what?

Enlightenment, maybe.

But my eyes are too blind to look and see

 

He was nothing but a pity downfall.

Never again will my heart be so willing to answer a call

Of a moment of vulnerablility.

I'm sorry to even remember I believed him.

 

    "You are my sweetest downfall.

     I loved you first, I loved you first."

 

You don't care a bit.

You never cared at all.

Oh the confusion of love.. I hate that we sometimes never hear the few simple words that could truly heal the soul and keep us on track in our hearts.. Love the way you shared the emotions..x
