I wish you could see the pain in my heart

My soul, shredded by your tryst of passion

My mind is a mass of confusion and agony

My passionate heart shattered like glass

 

Unfaithfully

 

I can’t stand to look into your eyes

You lie through your teeth

You insult my intelligence

Your mouth speaks volumes, but your heart is untrue

 

Unfaithfully

 

Questions arise and plague my thoughts

Was it me? Was it you? Does it even matter?

Your warm embrace has turned ice cold

Our existence slips and falls into an unholy darkness

 

Unfaithfully

 

It is clear to me now

All of the pain was for nothing

My soul has been redeemed

My heart has been restored

 

Unfaithfully

 

Now I hear you are with another

But your transgressions cause your new fling to suffer

You come to me for a second chance

Before I submit to your pleas I go into deep thought

 

Unfaithfully

 

Should I? Could I? Would I?

Endure the pain; Trust you again; Love you for a second time

My answer is complex and painful many tearful nights I have spent on this

The answer to that is….

 

Unfaithfully
