Well you can't manufacture a miracle
And you can't fabricate me a smile
Stop faking and lying
I'm sick of pretending
You were the one who said
No secrets

Don't build a foundation in mud
Cause someday, baby, it'll melt
And you'll be left standing
In rivers of tears
Rivers of lies
and rivers of loss

You're leaving me hopeless
You're leaving me gone
Leaving me faithless
It's hard to be strong

Leaving me lonely
Leaving me crying
Leaving me standing here
Leave me here dying

Well you can't manufacture a miracle
And you can't fabricate me a smile
I'm sick of the lying
Your imagery's fading
You were the one who said
No secrets

Don't build a foundation on words
That you have no intention of keeping
Because you left me standing
In rivers of tears
Rivers of lies
and rivers of loss

You're leaving me hopeless
You're leaving me gone
Leaving me faithless
It's hard to be strong

Leaving me lonely
Leaving me crying
Leaving me standing here
Leave me here dying

Leaving me
Leaving me
Leaving me in
The River

Poem 35

Ah. I love screwing up.

Suffice it to say the motivation behind this is I was naive and believed something someone said. Something about waiting.

Let's suffice it to say the waiting period has...ahem....ended. rather abruptly.

Am I happy for him? Yes. Am I heartbroken? Pretty. Close.

But it's my own stupidity, so I can't be too sad. At least, not justifiably.
