A moment for truth

by Libby M   Jun 30, 2004


I need a moment with you
I need just some closure
I need to have you explain
What was it that made you do it?
I need you to open the door once again
I need you to look deeply in my eyes and
To tell me the truth from how you went
From loving me to sleeping with someone new

I am now left alone with only nightmares
I woke up last night with coldness within my soul
I dreamt of how you kissed and traced her body,
And how you kept her close to your soul
You kissed her million times as I stood there with
Cold tears running down my face
I stood silently and I thought this is just a dream
But I woke up late at night and found a letter
That said, you are now having a baby with someone
You barely know...

It sounded like the song I was listening to
It sounded like Usher telling me his story
Face to face...
You got someone pregnant and now you are off
To building your future with her...
It all came so sudden; it all was like a dream
I was too afraid to wake up from
This letter isn’t another nightmare, but its reality of
My life and what it will become...
You tore me apart when I heard you crying
You kept apologizing, but all I heard was a silent sound
Your tears were like that rain, and your voice was like that of thunder
I tried to find a way to hide away, I tried to run but there was no shelter.

You have broken me in ways I cannot explain, I am still num
And I don’t believe that you are truly gone
You said, I love you Libby, and you will always be the one
I once again tried to understand, but again my ears refused to hear
All of what you had to say...
You said, it was alcohol and the distance between us,
But you also said, those are things you cannot blame for what you have done...
So I ask you now, what in the world am I to do...?
How do I go on from loving you?
I bet your answers are hard to be found, I bet you can’t think nor even
Understand...
All you know is that, You see a future with someone else, and even though such thoughts kill you
But how am I to ever again feel sane or be at all okay.
You left and you did what you did, you now are a father living with a soon to be Mother
You are going to form a life, and All I can do is sit here and continue on being num

You cheated your way out of my love, and you now have somehow found freedom
In someone else’s arm... Though you tell me, in my arms is where you have always
Dreamt to be, I guess now we both know that dreams barely ever come to be...
I am torn, and nothing you can say or do will ever fix what you have broken
That was built three years ago
