Unfaithful

Once more she waits, the dinner untouched
He called her just a few minutes ago
Saying he's working late once again
But she hears the lie, as it is told.

A distance has grown from words left unsaid
from actions that she thought were fake
But now she is lost in the hands of time
Unable to mend the gap as it breaks.

A blanket of silence, now covers their bed.
On her pillow, now damp with her tears
She holds to the hope of it mending itself
But it hasn't in these many years.

What happened to the new love they shared
Way back in her lost memories
Was it destined to die, right from the start
In souls bound with twines unfaithfully.

Her tears now all gone, for her heart is entombed
By his careless abandon, that took away
Any hope of the dreams that they shared long ago
Now vacant thoughts trapped in yesterday.
