Why?

Today you turned away
From HER
And looked at me

A glance that twisted my stomach
And made me stop
Stop breathing
Stop THINKING

A smile in fleeting
Like the last flower of fall
Bittersweet
A reminder of what you've lost

That it would mean nothing
Nothing to HER
Nothing to YOU

Kills me
Tears me apart
That you can't see what I see

You were perfect before
With all your flaws intact
When love was simple
And a kiss was sacred

But you lost it all
To be with someone BETTER

Better then ME
Better then LOVE

I told you a thousand times
And I would have told you
A million more...

Knowing that you didn't care
Should stop this aching
This need to keep you safe

And yet..
That fleeting moment means
EVERYTHING
and absolutely
Nothing
