A Heart's Betrayal
What our heart tells is true,
Confusion clouds my thoughts
Whenever I think of you.
I see someone who loves me
Yet I know deep in my heart.
The pain will overwhelm me
And tear my world apart.
I'm content when we're together
But so sad when I have to leave.
Tears flow like heaven's rain
As my heart begins to grieve.
I tell myself it doesn't matter,
I can handle being here alone.
Knowing this love is wrong;
Hearing your voice on the phone.
I block all the feelings of guilt
As passion takes over in waves
The touch of your gentle hand
Feeds what my body craves.
Two people meant for each other
In a different time, another place.
Wondering can she see the truth;
The betrayal etched in my face
I was not looking for another love
Yet I did not turn and walk away.
I grasped it close and held it
Ignoring the price I would pay.
Maybe I'll walk away tomorrow
And leave all the lies behind.
I know these thoughts are futile
For my heart overrules my mind.
It will not matter what happens
My heart will be yours to keep.
With my last breath I will love you
Until I fall into eternal sleep.
