Lethal Words

by Barbara   Feb 29, 2008


You get to laugh and smile.
While I just have to sit and cry.
You get to love and hold.
I can only wonder why...

Why wasn't I good enough?
Where did I go so wrong?
What could I have changed to make it better?
Was I just fooling myself all along?

Maybe we just weren't mean to last.
Not everything can or will.
But then why can't my heart be free?
Why must you say you love me still?

I wanted you to move on and be happy.
But you did it so fast and so easily.
I guess I was wrong when I said I'd always be there.
You can't have it both ways, you can't have her and me.

So now this is me leaving and saying my final goodbye.
Just know that I did love you once, I love you still.
But my metal armor is wearing thin.
And your constant knives and bullets are aimed to kill.
