Fractured

 

Have I ever felt so lonely before
Could somebody tell me I need to be sure
Are there really some words I can once believe
Is there no one who doesn't seek to deceive

 

Do I feel a right Charlie or maybe a left
Such nimble footwork honey is so very deft
Oh words are my one source of certainty now
You've dropped me again, pain grips me and how

 

I look back again at the text you have sent
And wonder if others were ever quite meant
So crushed have I been on times in the past
Yet still I allowed you your spells so to cast

 

I pondered the last few days at the fact
You barely responded to one poem and lacked
A way to respond as I asked what you thought
Sculpture Me told you what it was that I sought

 

So slip off and evade me as you did once before
I'll right myself somehow if I can once more
For writing is the one thing I can still be good at
Your skills are something else and that is a fact

 

To have and to hold you is now out of reach
What lessons should I learn, what is it you teach
That betrayal will always follow after promises made
You coaxed and you cajoled till some other tune played

 

For tunes are aplenty from so many men
They'll lie to get into your good books and then
Their mercy will seem so much less than your own
When finally you and three kids they disown

 

In past weeks you assured me and and the secret was out
I defended your honour to those that cast doubt
But now that I laid all my soul bare to be seen
You've done what you've done and fractured the dream
