Oh, he's home early
Quick, smiles on
Don't let him see
That you've known all along
The messages, the whispers, the looks
It's not betrayal, it's just...
Sorry, love, I have to hit the books
We do what we must
Okay, good, I'm alone now
Smiles gone
Tears flowing down
What did I do wrong?
No, stop!— everything is fine
Study, graduate
Busy up your time
Maybe, before it’s too late…
Be loyal and true
Maybe then, one day
He’ll remember you
Quietly tucked away
Never doubting
Never causing trouble
Never shouting
Always kind and humble
Maybe, then…
Maybe then…
Maybe then,
He’ll love you
About the Creator
Melissa
Staring up at the stars that aren't there anymore.
