I , I never lied to you

But the brew is stirred.

What can I do?

I lost control again

But I tried,

Never lied.

Too precious

And lovely to my eyes.

I can’t despise

A man

That took you from my side.

You may deride

The responsibility

I keep

Hidden inside,

But pride

Set me apart.

I can’t start to tell

The pain I went through,

But I loved you.

The price I pay

Would destroy

A lesser man.

With the dances and drink

Leaves nothing to think;

I blink it out

But I don’t shout about it.
