Love End

by Cathy   May 21, 2007


I see that frown painted across your face
your hiding a secret you think I won't trace
Ive seen that frown maybe only once before
and I'm wondering what may be in store
So I get up the nerve to ask you whats up
you answer me shyly and say nothing much
you lean over to kiss me soft on my lips
as your hands trail down to rest on my hips

Than as we pull our lips apart
you tell me you love me from the bottom of your heart
I smile and tell you I love you to
you whisper to me that you've always been true
I just smile, I'm so amazed by your charm
I lean my head on your shoulder, and just hold you in my arms
Taking you in, It makes me not want to let go
but you whisper in my ear that theres something I need to know

A little confused and a shy bit worried
waiting for a response, you tell me go get ready and hurry
you tell me you've made plans for dinner tonight
you want to tell me your secret when the moment is right
So I respect your wish and turn up the stairs
quickly rushing up to my room to fix my makeup and hair
Making sure every little thing is just right
I look through my closet for a perfect dress to wear tonight

A few moments later I come down the stairs and meet you in the hall
wearing some heels I try not to fall
a little annoyed in my clumsiness as I walk
you tell me I'll feel better after we talk
So at dinner we ate and talked about miscellaneous things in our life
than the moment grew silent and I knew the time was now right
you took me by my hand and told me I love you
once again I responded back with I love you to

Than I started to worry cause a tear streamed down your cheek
quickly wiping it away you started to speak
you told me you've done something that you could never take back
but no matter what happens your love for me will always be intact
You said that you went out on the town with a few friends
and you got into some trouble and the fun had soon end
there was some guys that crept up on you at the bar
you said you seen them before but didn't know who they are

They started to curse and it turned into a fight
a fight that ended with more than a lost battle that night
you and your friends did something that hurt one of the guys really bad
and you decided to turn yourself in, and say goodbye to everything we had
I didn't know what to say, I was hurt and a little angry inside
I can't believe something like this, you thought it would be OK to hide
I wanted to leave but It was like I was glued to the chair
I looked at you silently and thought you'd always be there

You looked at me with this stare and you apologized for doing whats wrong
you said, that you knew this relationship could never go on
and you didn't want me to pay for a mistake that you made
so you thought it was best if we let relationship fade
you told me I deserve more than what you had in store
you said you never meant to hurt anyone and for me you wanted more
you said you couldn't ask for me to wait for you
knowing I loved you, you suspected that was something I might do

I couldn't stay mad I just wanted to cry
I really prayed to god that we wouldn't say goodbye
but the reality kicked in and I knew what I had to do
I had to accept that I had lost you
no amount of loneliness would make up for lost time
even if I stayed you wouldn't be mine
I wouldn't get to hold you, or even kiss you on the cheek
your presence with me would be something I would seek
I would always be lonely and the time would go bye
I would find myself crying myself to sleep every night
so I agreed with you that it was the end, but no matter what happens I'll always be your friend

    A painful yet beautifully etched tale, so very sad. Very well written, keeps the reader involved from begining to end. Well done!
