You come to me
quietly,
sadly
contritely ...
... to tell me
"Honestly"
that the words
we've shared nightly
have all been in vain~
You've met someone else
You want to make a new start
Give all of your heart
to someone nearer
and dearer
to you~

You say
“I'm only being honest,
isn't that what you wanted?
To tell you the truth at all times?”

God no!
Lie to me,
give me hope,
make me believe
that this is all a game
to cause me pain
my punishment as it were
for being gone~

We've had so many yesterdays,
Now you're stealing our
tomorrows
how do you expect me
to pretend
to accept this
complacently
and to quietly
go on?”
I say “I've loved you
and I've cared,
we've communed
and we shared,
Now you throw Us away
in a matter of days
as though
we never
existed?”

And you say
“I care,
I really do
but between
me and you
she's here
you're there
yes I still care,
But I'm only being honest,
isn't that what you told me
you wanted?”

And I look at you
tearful eyed
through
heartbroken sighs
and tell
you sadly
contritely
but oh so
"Honestly"

“I lied”.
