Farewell to Arms My body quivered and my world quaked as you breathed "I love you" with a sense of sorrow The wound never healed or recovered from the ache As I ventured into a new tomorrow For weeks upon weeks I dealt with this pain Lovely scenery and sunsets went ignored As I eagerly waited for your call to explain My heart layed open, tattered and scored Your silence was deafening and knew it would subside Sleepless nights with tears as I laid awake To know that time will turn the tide And soon joy will replace all of this ache If only I could have one isolated moment Where I could see into your eyes like pools If only you could have a sense of atonement And mend together our two lost souls I'll never understand the web you weaved and why I was included in the scandalous affair When I was the practice you deceived And why you felt cause to bring me despair I broke things off with such insight With strength and finality It must have escaped me the other night When you brought me your apology Second best is not something I can tolerate and this point you understood I put it plain and simple and straight But your apology and arms felt good It reminded me of good times past and these things aren't easily forgotten For the things that are meant to last Are those that are begotten Your absence in my life is a piece that I missed But I have to come to the conclusion That you are not the portrayed person I kissed But an entire false aberration Please don't write or call or reach out to me I meant what I said when I ended it with you You're selfish and it's just your fantasy To have your cake and eat it too |
