Your eyes said goodbye Yet your mouth formed no words The blackened cloak of dishonesty Contaminated our relationship Trust merely black smoke Rising from a fire Your denial nonexistent For you knew You knew the hatchet dropped And all that could be done Was collect the blood-spattered pieces I’ll always remember Dropped jaw loud squeal I’ll always remember Not the deception But the disappointment Your weakness was the cause The cause without question Of a love gone awry
