Once

by Mandy   Aug 27, 2017


There you were
When things got bad
You fought the things
That made me sad

You wiped my tears 
When I broke down
You held me close
Kissed away my frown

You held me close
You pulled me near
You said you'd chase
Away these fears

I let you in
I let you see
The ugly beast
Inside of me

But ...you didn't run
You held my stare
You said you'd stay
You'd be right there

I broke down this wall
I let you pass
I trusted this
Could really last

But you've turned on me
You've betrayed my trust
Our world together
Now turned to dust

I guess you'll never know
I guess one thing was true
I guess I'll never say
That I love you.

      I'm sorry to hear, Em! Mine too, sadly. It pains me that others feel that way too :(

    When love goes bad. When it works, it's wonderful but when it turns sour, there's nothing worse.

    All the very best,

      Thank you, Ben. This actually just happened yesterday so....yes, nothing worse. Especially when everything is wonderful and it turns sour for the worst reasons, unexpectedly! Thank you for your comment!
