Tainted Memory

Give me an excuse to laugh,

Even though life is falling apart.

Without you here to hold my hand,

My heart’s twisting and growing tart

Mirrors turn away from me.

Eyes dim for everyone I see.

Without you here with me,

I’m lost and forever will bleed.

Now I sit as the villain in the story.

With all doors shut, people glance away.

You’re no longer my prince charming

After you left and refused to stay.

But what makes me the monster

after you turned my heart to gold?

You ripped the value from me

And whispered I’m wrecked. Now disposed.

Was I never worthy of you?

Or did you like to watch me bleed?

I gave everything to love you.

Forever a tainted memory.
