I forgot to tell you
it might rain
but you never warned me
it might end
You promised me forever
an unquenchable love
and then you walked away
without even waiting
for an explanation
Did I so tarnished the shine
on your badge of piety
that you walked away
without looking back
I watched you go
wanting to run after you
but I was unable
chained there
as I was
by my sin
A slavery I did not choose
I wanted to explain
the reasons
for the things I did
or was forced to do
but you never let me
You dropped your gavel
convicted guilty
sentenced devastation
and walked away
How could you promise so much
and fall so short
not keeping even in part
what I had placed
all my hope in
Was it really that easy for you
to throw it all away
the promises
of forever love
through thick and thin
old and young
or did you
eventually come back
only to find
the empty chain
left behind
by the unwanted freedom
of a slave to your love
When you left
I didn’t stand a chance
the men circled
like vultures
knowing I was dying
my heart crushed and leaking
they picked my carcass clean
eating me alive
even the bones of my
soul
were carried
back to nests
built in lofty mountains
So if you did come back
all you found
was a stain
left behind
by the pain I endured
when you turned
and walked away
never giving me
a chance to say
I’m sorry…
