I believed in you 
and hung on your every word.
Never thinking it could happen again, 
the silence...
But, there is no answer 
to my calls, no hello.
Just the cold message that all hear, 
as it commands.
The only time I can hear your voice 
and I smile... Hoping you will listen 
to my message and call.
Maybe not to hear what I am longing to hear
"Time slipped away, forgive you, we are okay."
Tugging at my heart, the fear 
of lies and disappointment; fear of you 
not being the man I thought you to be,
honorable. Visions and thoughts 
of someone gentle, of integrity.
You spoke of it often and of others that lack.
Where is it? 
When I'm concerned it seems lost.
I gave you my heart unconditionally and whole
never knowing that you would break it twice.
All I asked was to be loved and told the truth.
You promised if it changed I would be told.
Again I have the silence and the fear of loss-
not fair to someone who has trusted and loved,
sat in the silence, cried in the night and hoped.
Betrayed by your words, your promises and kiss.
I believed in you...
in the man I thought I knew.
