Rest Now My Swollen-sore Feet

How could I have been so blind?
How could anyone be so unkind?
How could I have been such a fool
In my crown, you were my jewel

I was Blinded by your light
Conquered me without a fight
I was wrapped up in your web
Words harmonious we said

Took me places I've never been
You were the sweepstake that I could win
You were everything I ever wanted
Now by your voice I'm haunted

Your glow overshadowed me
You were all I could see
For you, I would spare no expense
When I was weak you were my strength

You were the lyrics to my song
With you, nothing could go wrong
You were the breath that I breathe
From reality, you were my reprieve

Plaid like a game of cards
I held you in the utmost regards
Never I saw who you really are
I the moon and you my star

Fell for all those lies
So fill you were with alibis
The Devil is your true ally
Only you can make angels cry

Your face was all I could see
You were the better part of me
Your voice was all I could hear
Never realizing you didn't care

Gone now without even a goodbye
Efforts to contact without a reply
Gone without a reason why
No more shall I try

Shorter days now of summers heat
Tasted tropical fruits sweet
New faces I shall now meet
Rest now my swollen sore feet
