That I Lack

Trapped in the moment
Captured by your smile
Not able to see
The truth beyond the miles

There was never any temptation
Nor love, lust, or desire
All I saw was the image
Not the person, the liar

As time progressed we grew apart
Words slowly slipped away
The phone stopped ringing
There was nothing left to say

I knew then that he didn’t love me
The way I had for him
He played me for a fool
My future looked grim

Tears fled, emotions grew
The pain kept coming back
I guess there’s only one thing left to do
So it won’t be you that I lack
