If My Actions had Ever Broken Any Heart
- June 29, 2017
Forget this
If my eyes had ever looked lustfully
On the beauty of any damsel
Probably it could not see
The strand of darkness around the hearts
Forgive me
If my lips ever lied to someone I love
It may be to protect something precious
Or to only savour the sweetness of deceit
Pardon me
If my actions had ever broken any heart
I sometimes had no choice
Than to pretend I don't see your tears
Tell the cobra not to sting
Because the frail feet of a boy bruised it tail
There is no end to what bitterness can ruin
And sometimes you may be wrong
About what you are certain of
