Sorrow Will Run Riot

The unspoken fealty that had been pledged.

Loyalties are forgotten by a woman that is vexed.

You let me down in the grandest ways

With you went my heart away.

And at such crossroads, we stand

With or without each other hands

You were all I had.

Not the family I was stuck with

Not the friends who endured me

You were the one who chooses me

Now you're gone with the wind and snow

Winter might be coming but you're no more.

Your words hurt me more than my sticks and stones.

On your lover's lips, my secrets shone

What belonged to me was now his

You thought I'd forget you but what is this?

Who am I to speak of treason and betrayal?

When I met you out with treatment so royal.

I know what I did

I had a bone to pick with you

Such facts you kept hid

Only shared with your beau

Call me green-eyed.Sure.Why not?

How can I not be resentful?

After all this, I've lost

Eight years I chased a fool's paradise

Am, I too, a laughing stock in your eyes?

The emptiness I feel inside

Will I be soothed by a few goodbyes?

It's childish, I know

But do I have to let go?

What you did was an act of persistence

What I did was an act of desperation

The downfall was imminent, they say

Can nothing in life go my way?

Love does not love which alters when alteration finds

With Boredom, you leave me behind

All that time and efforts mean nothing now

Dear Child my lion, you can have her.

In defeat, I bow.
