Old Faithful
Compliments go unheard
Music to tone deaf ears
Kind men speak their good words
The message turns unclear
He looks into her eyes
Great anticipation
Promises he won’t lie
Yet she doesn’t mention
Her feelings aren’t the same
She says with a cold glare
Lightning strikes, here’s the rain
The grounds fixed point to stare
His emotions run cold
Freezing like the weather
His words were spoken bold
She said she’ll find better
But please, oh don’t forget
I’m the best that you’ll have
She’ll look back and regret
The memories we had
Yet he will remember
He tried his very best
His heart, she dismembered
He’s treated like the rest
She returns yet again
Good intentions in mind
He’s another option
Won’t fall for it this time
Too late, turns her away
She cries “I love you now”
That’s now what you say
But please just tell me how
When I was there for you
You still ran off to him
My love for you was true
Garbage he dumped you in
But please, oh don’t forget
I’m the best that you’ll have
She’ll look back and regret
The memories we had.
--My love has a place, filed it so
Collecting dust, sadly its unknown
Hopes raised, high is the bar to expect
The life that once was, I now forget--
