Let your eyes promise me lies
Let your sigh be a sweet goodbye
never even write to me a letter
won't worry about tearful endeavors
There was no reason to return
I was told
Nobody waiting back home
nothing is left but the promise of praise
Nothing remains but the colleges i crave
No phone calls late at night
pictures a constant reminder
no burning of inpassioned pages
or returning them to sender
you send a letter to the one you can't deny
will never send you a reply
you never bother to ask yourself why
Blinded by your own dim light
Tried but devout
Tortured the cherished
loved the unheralded
Bought up their trash
Brought to my knees by the
beggars and braggarts
washed my laced sleeves after each miscarriage
You fill your pen and
spill the words onto each line
your monogram in wax seals your pathetic cry
You're so romantic so cautious and tranquilized
is there anything behind your eyes?
