Come Whatever May (The Edge pt. 2)

A stinging blow, five simple words:
"I asked her out today."
The best thing that I could of heard,
The last I wanted you to say.

They read us like an open book,
But they skipped the final page.
It seems they missed the biggest part,
That final, wrenching change.

I didn't think you were that person,
That you'd ever pull that stunt.
It's the clue that even I had missed
...but was I ever on the hunt?

It pains me to have trusted you,
To have believed your every word,
But today all that has ended;
Those words not spoken, though clearly heard.

Now I wonder how things would've been,
Had we ever left that ledge.
Had we been lemmings on a cliff.
Had we skittered off that edge.

It seems as if my answer's clear:
I can't believe a word you say.
The ones you sent to cut me
Have already had their way.

At least I know one thing for sure:
Tomorrow's a brand new day,
And I'll never think the same of you,
Come whatever may.

Even though I've expressed my love of this in person, and on deviantART, I feel it should be said again: I love this, for more than just the stone sour reference :P
