To the Core
To the Core
Was it a game of life
or just one passing trend
in tormenting my soul
to a bitterness with end
From the sweetness of her lips
to a sourness in her voice
came words so unkind
it left me with no choice
Festered words without passion
laired deep within her core
left me no alternative
but to leave the one I once adored
Never to return
never to again to see
never to have her know
what she really meant to me
