I hope that it hurts you
I hope that you cry
Cause when I think of it
I just want to die
I remember the words
And love that we’ve shared
Now knowing the secrets
That you wouldn’t dare
You knew it would hurt
You knew it was so
But still you delivered
This crushing blow.
And now I feel stupid
Ignorant, dumb.
A naive, love-struck child
Blind to your scum.
Every fifth of the month
Rolls right on by
Tears tend to quiver
Behind my dry eyes
And rage starts to fill me
That voice from within
Would watch your lip quiver
With an unforgiving grin.
I didn’t deserve this!
You liar, you cheat!
And against your sad chest
My heavy fists beat
You can’t even utter
A word in defense
You feel my fists hit on
The guilt in your chest
Your mind so deluded
With only one thought
Didn’t even remember
Past treachery wrought
Now here we both are
Neck-deep in each other
Neither one willing
To forsake the other
Forgiveness is hard
Not easily gained
But love that is willing
To be so forth changed
Could be the making
Of two better hearts
As each found the other
And made a new start.
It takes some great courage;
Forgiveness, great strength
To set straight the record
And wipe the slate blank.
Although I am angry
My heart loves you so
I know you are sorry
Your tears fell below
I remember the rivers
That flowed from your eyes
The night that you told me
And the night that I cried
This began the demise.
The old “us” is dead.
And yet, in its place
We are better instead.
You’ve done what you can
Your effort does show
I know you still love me
Despite that great blow.
We will not forget this
It’s taught us so much
About how we both think
And the meaning of touch
The next time you doubt me
Please take a deep breath
And think of every time
I’ve loved you to death.
