That word

That word.

All we can give is one hundred and ten percent,

Or the lack of effort that we all did.

All I have left to give is the emptiness,

Of a future already behind us, so let’s give it a miss.

We are young; we are evermore.

I am the strongest with your hand in my hand.

We believed forever more that we would be pure,

But life changed us into The Devil’s man.

It began with sex and inside my head,

I had all these thoughts that I would confess,

To a woman I loved, if I ever loved any,

But life ain’t like that; lover’s are ten a penny.

They come and go and on with the show.

They say I love you like it is just a word they have heard.

All I can say is the pain that I have known,

When that word has been said to me…my God that word.
