Coward

I have no shame, I lie, I’m proud for nothing,
I’m casting blame and never taking fault,
I hurt you bad and took your love for granted,
Though every day I promised you I won’t.

I’ve been obsessed and blinded by my ego
And fed it with your tears at nights alone,
But never thought to spare this selfish figure
And show you more than coldness to the bone.

I’ve only mocked your beautiful emotions
And ripped them up like vultures rip their prey;
We’re now so far apart that only oceans
Could know how much our hearts had gone astray.

As every night though looks so close, the sunset
Lights up the tides and makes is all surreal
But while the ocean looks as if it’d touched it
It’d never break the distance in between.

So I just think about the things I said and grovel,
And can’t stop seeing tears roll down your face;
And though you never gave yourself to other
I used your love then threw it all to waste.

I’m probably too cold to have your tender,
And still remember asking you to leave;
I must have the indulgence of a welder
Whose hands are dry and passion has no mean.

I thought I’m good with women and their feelings
And that inside I’m not all made of wood;
But all I’ve done was break your heart to pieces
And all I’ve said has made you leave for good.
