i cannot see me
for the clouds of you.
i cannot see me
for the clouds of you.
I’m your friend she protested
As she supplied my tears with the little emotion she invested
I’m sorry I repeated
As she lied and cheated
And tore me apart
Right down to my achey breaky heart
I’m sorry was all he could yell
As he heard my heart knell
For the sorrow he caused
And the way our love paused
Bitter minus the sweet
When a lover and friend meet
And for you don’t exist
To make their lust twist
As they fondle and laugh
Ignorant of the sound as your heart halves
And thirds
And quarters
There’ll be no breaking of waters
Or ring on the finger
We cannot linger
In this not so humble abode
We once called a home
Just me on my own
Strong although lone
Like a wolf in the night
Let the moon be my sight
But I’m blessed to be surrounded by family and friends
Who’ve helped my heart mend
Who’ll stick by me till the end
And never part ways
Till the ends of our days
And to God up above, and all around
I throw my hands up in praise, unbound
And you, what have you got?
Was it worth throwing in your lot?
For I am happy; I am safe; I am free
And I am being me, me, me
