Go

peto

A well rehearsed and practiced grin 

Belies a head on turbo spin

The flames extinguished from within 

Internal tears don't show 

 

She took him to her special place 

Where being yourself is no disgrace 

Taking her time she set the pace 

For love to gently grow 

 

The sun seemed brighter every day 

The heart she freely gave away 

Beat faster when his hand would stray 

Her waistline and below

 

Two halves emerging as one whole 

What she donated still he stole 

Her life her dreams her hopes her soul

And all she'll ever know 

 

Although no blood was ever spilt 

He pushed her boundaries to the hilt 

She suffers from survivors guilt 

For wishing he would go

          Beautiful expression in this poignant write Peto. I heard song lyrics too. Final stanza sums up the whole sad story of broken romance.
