The cavalier paint on your face

gave you away,

no need to pace

And ask I not stay

Unmindful to my hurt

Your tilting taunts,

meeting rivers of tears

Are truly what haunts

I know I value little to you

And you the world to me

What can I do

Save drop to one knee?

I ask for strength

to ward the tears away

I would go to no length

to one day hear you say

That you finally see the truth

And I should have gotten my way

you are ready for peace

and no longer wish to play
