Another Broken Promise

I'm sitting here in this house all alone
But it doesn't matter since we don't get along
As I sit here in lonely despair
My only company is all my cares

I'm sitting here playing Solitaire Las Vegas style
Keeping track as I lose my money all the while
But it matters not what goes on around me
Because my thoughts remain on you can't you see

I'm sitting here waiting for you to call
Hope against hope that you don't after all
I love you, I love you keeps ringing in my head
But we're no good together except for in bed

It's been two weeks now since I've been gone
But I'm doing all right, I'm getting along
I left you because I was not important to you
And all your broken promises still make me blue

It wasn't you I left on that rainy night
It was a relationship we just couldn't get right
There was really nothing further I could do
But get over the hurt and stop feeling blue

We were hurting each other with the love that we had
We seldom did any good, our art was in being bad
It really didn't matter the words that we said
We just kept killing the love until it was dead

You promised to call three nights ago
It made me so happy my face it did glow
There was talk of getting back into each other's arms
But if I'd really listened I could have heard the alarms

I don't know what you were trying to do to me
Having your fun leaving my heart to bleed
Oh how I want you and need you so much
To be in your arms and feel your sweet touch

But I must erase all such thoughts from my head
Cause you already have someone else in your bed
I never was very important to you
That's precisely why I felt so blue

You never loved me when I was in front of your face
Can you now from a thousand miles, in another place
The past is dead and I shouldn't let it revive
It's really for the best we just get on with our lives

But here I sit hoping that you'll soon telephone
Knowing you won't because you're already at home
I need to stop beating myself up in this way
Just leave it alone and let sleeping dogs lay

You are listening to Dark Side by Eddie and The Cruisers.
I have such an eclectic taste in music that it is hard for me
to pick just the right song but this one seems appropriate.
I really like the movie and the music but this site
is about my slip into the dark side!

All poetry presented here is original works of art written by me.
Please do not recreate any of them without expressed permission from me.
My inspiration was my pain and as such is quite personal.
It is my soul that is bared through these words.
