your face haunts me in the middle of the night
a brilliant smile that makes my heart soar
sometimes at night i still feel your skin on mine
you took my manhood when you left, crying i go back to sleep
your body to me was the greatest temple
i worshiped it daily, up close and from afar
your eyes and loving words hiding the truth
a pool of lies, an ocean of deciept
i understand you did what you had to do
late nights worrying and even later nights talking
you played me for a fool, what a tune i must have made
life comes full circle, i now understand karma
my life with you amazingly mirrored another
this time it was i who got played
my howls in the night of forgiveness and apology
to a person i hurt in my youth, unanswered, unfullfilled
rebuilding my life after the destruction of my love
while hard, it is refreshing, my new eyes see truth
how can you live with someone knowing no future?
how can you have a future without knowing love?
