Only I Have Seen



As she looks up tears slowly roll down her cheek.
You have made her miserable and meek
When she wants to talk to you, you don't have time.
On Valentine's Day you going to say "will be mine"

You only used her for personal gain and pleasure.
You took advantage of the innocent treasure.
As she thinks of you
You're thinking of your first love.
As she writes about you
You're depicting a caravan of dove.

Only I have seen her suffering from infinite pain
As if winter's snow storms drain.
You're the crystal of appearance
But she is the pearl of reality.
Please don't break her heart
Or else you will burn and rot.
