Understand

Are You Lonesome Tonight
Stranger to my eyes. Are you lonesome tonight. Are you sorry we drifted apart. Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day when you kissed me and called me your sweetheart? Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again? You know someone once told me that the world was one big stage and each of us play a part. Fate had me playing in love as your sweetheart. Act one is where we met.You loved me at first glance. Your read your lines so cleverly and never missed a Que. Then came act two you seemed to change you acted strange and why I've never known. Honey you lied when you said you loved me and I had no cause to doubt you. But I'd rather go on not hearing your lies than to go living without you. Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there with emptiness all around, and I suppose if I don't come back then they can bring the curtain down.

Understand that I love you,loved you, and love you again. Understand that I care for you, cared for you, and care for you again. Understand that I feel that way, felt that way, and feel that way again. Understand that you betrayed me. Understand that you deceived me. Understand me. Understand that it is an unsettling ache that will never heal, perhaps in this case time will be the best judgment.Understand that we had our time and for all one knows there may be another time. Perhaps time will be the best judgment. Understand that with each return you recondition the unwanted and the unnecessary vessels that are irrelevant for the heart to function. Understand that the seams of yesterday come undone and the sting hurts all over again. Fresh to my flesh. Fresh to death. Suicide wrist red if you will. Understand your voice skips straight to my last nerve and slits the unavoidable veins that trigger agony,misery, and pain. Understand your touch awaken my heart. Understand that your presence is unbearable. Understand me.

I understand the love in you. I understand the care in you. Understand that I've turned my back on love. Understand that I am walking away from love.
