During the Night
As I wake up, gasping for air
panting, I think back to the time we used to share
I think about the good times and the bad
I pictured the love that we had
The tears fill my eyes
I think about how you left with a sigh
you said you loved me at one time
I loved you with all my heart, Is that such a crime?
You looked into my eyes
and told me there was no need to cry
you asked why I was so mad because you found love again
I said because you betrayed me, you said she was just a friend
If you really loved me, you would have never lied
you said those words, I just sat there and cried
they meant so little to you
you never cared about me, I now  know that is true
you kissed my blushed cheek, called me your baby
I thought you could love me, just maybe
you did love me, a while ago
Why didn't you tell me sooner that you wanted to go
you just stayed with me, pretending to love me
you should have told me you wanted to be free
I would have never knew
if I hadn't caught you two
I cry and cry, night after night
but now that we're apart, I'm no longer blind, my face shines bright
I strive day by day, as my heart bleeds
I try to focus on the better things
I lay back down
with a sadened frown
I fall back asleep
as the memories start to creep
I try to fight
them during the night
