Forgive Me

I hurt you, and I'm sorry
That was never my intent
Just poor communication
You didn't know what I meant
I never meant to hurt you
You are very dear to me
Now I beg your forgiveness
And I hope that you can see
That your interpretation
Of my words was not my own
Though I explained them poorly
And brought this whole quarrel on
I ask you, please forgive me
For my heart hurts with your pain
And I will do my utmost
Never to hurt you again

Cliches IV

A walk in the park
A day at the beach
Cute as a button
Pretty as a peach
You light up my life
I'm walking on air
Just breezing through life
With never a care
Since being with you
My life's a cliche
But then again, that's
A small price to pay

Vengeance Desired

I understand what you wanted
I'll never understand why
You held the whole world in your hands
Why'd you have to make her cry
Just what was so very tempting
That you just couldn't stay true
She is what every man dreams of
And she was in love with you
Her trust in you was so misplaced
Though no one could tell her so
She believed in you completely
And now, you have layed her low
She'd crushed beneath the hurt she feels
Her innocence is shattered
Her whole world revolved around you
And you were all that mattered
Her naivete was so precious
She is truly a jewel
How could you betray her like this
How could you be so cruel
There was a time I called you friend
But that time is in the past
I've nothing but contempt for you
You're vile and selfish and crass
I hope Prince Charming comes her way
And treats her just like a queen
And I hope that ill dogs your steps
And trouble strips you clean
