the Malice and the Pain
She threw away her love
She threw away her shame
She threw away the memories
That made it just a game
The deep-set fear and anger
A troubled heart of gold
He took it and corrupted it
And she was never told
The distorted sense of justice
The malice and the pain
The kingdom of her fairytales
But he took it all away
He buried it with rocks
And he buried it with waves
She begged him for forgiveness
But he did it all the same
He reached in for her heart
And ripped it all away
He smiled to himself
Then gathered the remains
He took her hand in his
And looked into her eyes
He uttered but a sentence
‘It’s time to say goodbye.’
