You don’t get to be happy
You don’t get to quit
You don’t get to walk away
Breaking my heart bit by bit
I don’t plan to light a candle for you
In the dark night I won’t cry out your name
I don’t want to be the bigger man
And concede to your sick little game
My love was real and I gave it
You took all I had and you ran off to play
Now you come back and say I’m your best friend
Like I understand why you let your eyes stray
What kind of fool do you think I am anyway
I was ready to give you forever
I sacrificed and I waited for you
You couldn’t even give me your honesty
You don’t even care what you’ve put me through
All the days and nights wanting are wasted
And I’m marking time just getting by
But you come at me with that fragile smile
Blind to the tears I cry
I’m broken but you can’t fathom why
Will your little conscience
Keep you warm at night
I won the war
But lost this fight
You sent up the white flag
You know it ain’t right
But you made your choice
Better hang on tight
Out of mind when out of sight

on 9/13/13 my son's beautiful girlfriend of over two years came over to his apartment and proceeded to shred his heart with a "I can't see myself with anyone but you but need to see if I can be happy alone" bit. Two weeks ago she tells him she is crazy about some other guy - like my child is her BFF. Yesterday - the some other guy posted the "in a relationship with" death knell status. Doesn't matter if there was no *** involved. Allowing yourself to be distracted by the friend of a friend when you are in a committed relationship and keeping your current on hold is infidelity. I pity the next little thing in a dress that darkens my son's door. She will be dealing with me and my broadsword.
