Loneliness

Committing my thoughts to paper instead 
Of keeping them locked up safe in my head
Is something I fail to do each day 
For the voice in my head has something to say. 
Opinions that matter to me seem to bleed
From my heart and my soul with a passionate need
To hold to account all those that have turned
This innocent girl so scarred and so burned
By malicious tongues that stab in the dark 
Tearing apart what's left of her heart
With words constructed of tissue and lies
Leaving her empty which I hate and dispise 
For I love the fact that I feel for you all
And would happily catch you if ever you fall
To prop you up
To help you stand tall.
To hand you that phone 
To help make that call
And talk to the girl that you claim to adore
Even though 
I loved her before 
She knew you existed 
When I had that chance
To walk over to her 
and ask her to dance
My timing and luck
We're so out of sync 
On that day I first saw her
And caused me to think
Of happily dying
In that sexy girls arms
Instead she succumbed 
to my best friend's fake charms.
Words that were empty 
And so full of lies
Are spat at me now
As I burn your disguise 
Of being the lover I know that your not
Of having no substance 
Of unearthing your plot
To bed this woman 
To add to to her pain
For you've done this before 
Well never again.
I am in love
With this girl you lust for
I am the one
For this woman for sure
As the sun rises on the loneliest days
As eggs are eggs 
As corn turns to maize
I am the constant 
You come and go
I give my heart
To the woman you stole.
So when you have burned her 
The way that I was
Don't knock on my door
For comfort because 
Although I claim friendship 
It what we have now
Your treatment of others
Sits wrong with me now.
