A Better Light - Terrible Love

There is a scar

Not on my skin

But found deep within

Was she really once my everything?

I’ve come so far

Not questioning

If I could be king

She is where I end and I begin

Our so called love was destined to turn black

And I hate myself when I take my mind back

I was a bird trapped in a broken cage

An old oil painting never to be displayed

I would lay by her side

Eyes open wide

Still wondering why

There is a scar

Not on my skin

But found deep within

Was she really once my everything?

I’ve come so far

Not questioning

If I could be king

She is where I end and I begin

I came across a better light

It shone so bright

Guiding me through her seas of spite

I thought I’d never see the end

My heart was bent

And relearned to love, love again

I would lay by her side

Eyes open wide

Still wondering why

I couldn’t say goodbye

As months and years slipped by

I would lay by her side

Eyes open wide

Still wondering why

I couldn’t say goodbye

As months and years slipped by
