I am not much of anything
even in your shadow cast
I can never hope to measure up
to all your loving in the past
Our relationship was Camelot
you treated me just like a king
but I threw it all away for lust
and now I have lost everything
the perfect wife, our happy life
I cut your kindness like a knife
and that’s why I sleep alone tonight
I don’t deserve to ever more be near
your shadow cast or your dreams I smeared....
and sadly you have made it clear
that I should up and disappear
but I will always see your tears
and your sad gaze on my cheating face
as I sit and drown in endless beers
in the shadows cast in all the years
That I’ll remain a lonely man
who truly failed to understand
the meaning of rings on our hands
the truth of vows all erased now
because I chose to be aroused
by someone who was out for fun
a one night stand, sex on the run
and the shadows cast
on the blinds where we
committed my adultery
will haunt me for all time
because I lost your tender love
I once called mine.
and though I might find new romance
the shadows cast on every chance
will leave my wooing less enhanced
knowing they are just placebos
to the perfect girl that I loved so
that I hurt so bad she let me go
I might never find a love to grow
untainted by what I now know
Losing you dealt me a mighty blow
and in the shadows
cast by your exiting
I always will be questioning
how our life might have been
If I hadn’t done it in
with my selfish lusting baby
If I had not done it in…….
