Time Won't Tell

Walking through town
Just me and the boy
Laugh and a joke
His smile so coy

Conversational bliss
The moon shines so bright
Alone together
Up a street at night

Stare at the stars
Sparkling in his eyes
This peaceful dream-world
Now shrivels and dies

Awake at the start
Of the repeating day
Learnt my lines
For the part I play

Another pin plunged
Into this scarred heart
Day after day
I play this same part

Can you tell
My smile from my veil
No ending to
This grisly tale

Slap-on happy face
Longing for reprieve
Lost in the race
Yearning for leave

I can't get away
I'm trapped in this cage
With you and the boy
Stuck on the same page

Time rips open wounds
Its happened before
No one shall see
These sick tears pour

Why this again?
I loathe to ask
Why you this time?
To complete this task

I will stay silent
No one will know
The storm in my head
My friend a foe?

I still remember
A few years ago
When we sat on the hill
Sat in innocent glow

We swore to never
Let a boy come between
But you're making it so hard
I strive to keep it unseen

It won't get better
One thing I know
I wish on black stars
This feeling would go

I will get over this?
Time won't tell
No counter-curse
To break this spell

Now you and him
Walk the street scene
Of course you're happy
You're with the boy of my dreams
