Smart, well-read, independent,
Things I once admired
Strong, proud, stubborn
Things that broke my trust
Lies, secrets, hidden facts
Things you used against me
Women, friendships, late nights
Things I was expected to accept
Never trust again without doubt
Never just accept
Now I must see the guile of others
Because I learned these lessons well
Late at night
Your words haunt me
Your threats still hurt me
I run away from the terror
During the day
But at Night
I can't shut you out.
You stole from me
And I shall never
Be able to get that back.
But everyday
I fight,
I rebuild my world
One brick at a time.
One loving caress,
One sweet smile,
And there is another
Who treasures me
And all I am.
You broke me
But I am not destroyed.
I left and now I strive
to be strong
again.
Girl,
You think you are a new perspective,
You are just a new face.
I have been where
You stand.
I was new once too
But once he finds he can't control you
You will be out with the old news.
He may hid the truth
But you will see it.
You aren't blind.
You know it is coming.
You know because
it was me who was old
and you who took my place.
Be careful as it will all
happen again.
The music is loud
and drowns out the thoughts from the past
That the music brings to mind.
One looks and see the sky
in all it's glory.
It's promises of a new day
There is a joy reflected in your eyes
That pushes away
all the sadness and doubts.
How did you do it?
With a wink and a smile,
The world goes from dark to light,
Gray to bright
And all you did was
Wink and Smile.
