Words

by Jackie Bilson   Sep 19, 2004


My eyes flutter open- wide they part
Due to the sudden pain in my heart
A voice echoing in my brain
Words that once drove me insane

Who's voice has disturbed my sleep?
The same man who has made me weep?
The one who's face, familiar as my own
The one who's heart is made of stone

Once more he mutters, sarcastic and rude
Kill my morning, kill my mood
Why now? I cry, Why today?
Why make my life a duller gray?

Why? I ponder, Is it a special date?
Why ruin this morning? Why can't it wait?
I stifle a groan as I check the day
So this is the reason for your replay

It's been one year since we were last fine
Since happiness was yours and mine
One year since I left our town
Knowing it will all turn upside down

When I came back, it was too late
But you said no, you DID wait
Yet we both knew it was over now
Yet we still held on, somehow

And at the end you were so cold
Like our love could just be sold
In the end I felt betrayed
Because of the pitiful role I played

And now I find those same words
Twittering in my head like twisted birds
In pain and anguish my hear is set
I can forgive but I'll never forget
