soft as a feather

soft as a feather
falling from the sky
we had a love so sweet
just you and i
along came the villian
who tore my feather away
no way to get it back
i’m sorry to say
once trust was broken
i never can trust again
not only were you my lover
you were my best friend
but she had her eyes
planted firmly on you
you didn’t have to sleep with her
to make me so blue
emotional connection
was enough to ruin what we had
you said you were sorry
you felt so bad
i don’t forgive easily
i never forget
you did something
you will always regret
i was the best thing
that ever came into your life
now you’ll never have the chance
to make me your wife
i’m on my way
so over you
i’m finding a life
and starting over anew
feathers keep falling
down from the sky
my heart is mended
today i will fly

    Love this, it reminds me of a few of my work but one that sticks out is “Caught” This could be the sequel to “Caught” How in sync!

    oh yeah…fly baby fly….trust is a very fragile thing, when it’s broken…well, it just can’t ever really be fixed again. xxxx
