Two Wounds That Haunt My Heart

In a hallowed halls of memories, two pains reside,
The thought of you and what you did inside.
A delicate balance, a fragile line,
Between love's deceit and heart's confine.

One wound, a ghostly whisper of what used to be,
Your presence now is a bittersweet memory.
Your words, a melody that once echoed sweet,
Now a haunting refrain that my soul does beat.

But another cut, a deeper **** within,
Is the knowledge of the hurt you brought to kin.
How could you tell such lies with a gentle tone?
And smile, while breaking hearts, all alone?

You saw my pain, and chose to ignore,
To hide behind a mask of love's dark core.
Yet still, you spoke those three words so dear,
"I love you," but did they bring me cheer?

Or were they empty vows, a clever guise,
Meant for ears that didn't question or realize?
For when you shared them with others in delight,
Did they hold any truth, or was it just a night?

We should have seen, we should have known,
Better than to trust a love that's turned to stone.
But now, I'm left to pick up the shattered pieces,
And wonder why, oh why, did we not notice all the creases.

I almost wish the life you lived under cover was not revealed. Maybe ignorance was a better choice for me. I miss living in the fantasy that brought fire to this cold heart. Come back to me with your words and lay with me in this delusion.

After awhile you'll realize that she's nothing but a little girl with a broken heart.
She depended on you.
Relied on you.
She loved you.
But now you see her, sitting in the rain all alone wondering if she's crying or if its the water streaming down her face. But when will YOU realize what you did to her?

Maybe someday
You'll come back like
You went away
Slow and gentle
Just like the sway
Of deep oceans
Want you to stay
Here forever
But
Until that day
I will await
Your sweet embrace
Of embraces

But until then
I'll wait for you
Until I'm sent
On through the blue.
