You Promised Me the World
November 11, 2010
You promised me the world,
You told me you’d give me the moon,
If I asked.
The first week was blur,
I left my sense behind,
And took your lead.
You gave me the world,
I asked for the moon,
You gave me a planet.
That month was a happy one,
I was blinded,
And took your word.
You took away my world,
You destroyed my planet,
And threw a moon pie in my face.
That week was insane,
I trusted you,
And you broke it.
My world is gone,
My planet dead,
My moon pie trashed.
Your lies apparent,
Your game revealed,
Your feelings unhurt.
