You're not a consolation prize, he told me. You're better than that.
And that's the reason he threw me away.

Not worth the wait - promises of fidelity always run on empty;
not even fumes can keep a cracked shell alive
I'm not a jealous love,  but getting kicked
is something even a dog won't accept,
not for long.
Why, then, do I ?

your love is a lie, a lie
your love is a beautiful lie
you smile with your eyes, your eyes
your smile brings light to our eyes

nothing but a promise whispered
made in the night, forgotten by morning
is my grief to you so sweet, my dear
that you left me quietly to weep ?

your love was my light, my light
your love filled my very soul
your heart is guided by your eyes, your eyes

why then, do your wanderings surprise ?


your love was my light, my light
your love filled my very soul

But now the hour grows late, my dear,
and I can not wait for you more.

If I ever devote my love,
to a fellow devotee,
will be my escape of Forest,
where I was her escapee.
