castle

The truth came to visit me today.

He stopped in to say
I don’t need you in any way.

From the fires of pain
I will rise and heal.

From the ashes of sadness
I will build a castle of fortune.

Don’t knock.
Don’t ring.

My riches come from your absence.
My happiness comes from your leave.

I am free of the dirty web you weave.

Excuse my smile as I walk away.
I said goodbye to your sadness today.

heart key

You unlocked my heart
with your smile.

If I would have known
it was only to last a little while,

I would have surrounded my heart
with barbed wire.

You were my fire.
You were my flame.

You were the one I thought
could never cause me shame.

I wish, I wish
for no more pain.

I wish, I wish
to feel your touch again.

I wish, I wish
I could think about you
with a smile instead of tears.

Every memory…
dead
Every memory…
buried
Every memory…
lost

My devotion
was rewarded with your deceit.

My commitment
was abused by your convenience.

My head
was used for your advantage.

My love
was taken for granted.

Give me back my key
so I can lock my heart for good this time.
