You said you loved me, but you lied,

I was just an object in your eyes.

An object to flaunt in the public eye.

To boost your ego, bring you into the lime light.

My foolish heart, believed your words.

It longed to be loved. It longed to be hugged.

Believing you would love me forever

I bartered my love for your wandering lust.

You treated me well, you treated me right.

I was a princess in your eyes.

You gifted me well. You dined me right.

The wine for sure blinded my sight.

Just when I was sure, we could last forever.

You told me I was not the only one ever.

That there were others who your heart desired.

Who gave them-selves to you without a tremor

I had given you my heart, given you my soul.

So my foolish heart passed all this off, as a joke.

Your passionate kisses had blinded me so.

How could you ever love anyone more?

My light and shine I had passed all to you.

You were now at the centre of the world.

Robbing my light, you now shone bright.

While I was happy to glow in your light.

One fine day in front of my eyes

What do I see by the shimmering seaside?

A man in black. The woman in white.

You the man. The woman-of whom you had lied.

Walking up to you in the wind and the surf...

I rolled into my voice the perfect calm.

“You make a handsome couple,” I said flashing my best smile

My eyes, they stung, my heart burnt amber in the cool night.
