Each word
Hits like a hard fist
Breaking my already battered spirit
I can't protect myself
From the cruelty
Of the rumors
That have reached my ears
It shouldn't matter anymore
The past should be behind me
But every time his name is mentioned
It hurts my heart
A little more
Denials are given
Pleading not to believe the lies
But the only lies
Are the ones
Coming from his lips
The bitterness inside me grows
Not knowing who to believe anymore
Having the one I love betray me
Knowing the truth
Not wanting to believe
I am alone
Unable to act
Lost in my love.
