Faux Love
Go on Now
Once upon a time, in days gone by, I was young and kissed by the sun
I met you, married, untrue, unhappy and blue, older than I by a long run
The temperature high, love on the fly, living a lie, that, the sum of our union
Hope eternal, not paternal, reminders maternal, we took our communion
-------------------------------------------------
You took your leave, religion, you grieve, onto your wife you must cleave
Leave, then, just leave, I learned not to plead, you were not mine to grant freed
Bound I was not, to conventional plot, not by a long shot, no grant was reprieved
I moved down the line, accepting your sign, love not mine, no illusion conceived
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You dared, on a whim, to try again, a tale to spin, your cavalier grin, in place
Disarming and charming, I recognized swarming, taking the smile from your face
You taught me well, a special hell, guilty tears, hot that fell, not a place of grace
Go away now, no need to endow, honor your vow, my life is now mine to embrace
