MY NORTH STAR

Just tell me why
She didn’t love me
You watched me cry
I’m begging you, please!

Just tell me why
My heart’s been broken
Tell me now
I’m on my knees.

I needed her
You always knew that
She wasn’t yours
To take away. 

Though confused
I did believe you
It was clear
I couldn’t stay.

Please tell me now
Was it on purpose?
Was it all
Part of a plan?

Can’t believe 
You’d be so heartless
I want so much
To understand. 

My North Star
Obliterated
You were the one 
I looked up to.

Lives were ruined
In that moment
Turned upside down
Because of you. 

What was your motive?
Your reason for
Breaking my heart
There must be more.

So devastated
I up and left
On my way home
I sadly wept.

Now decades later
You are long gone
I’m left to face
What I did wrong.

No point in sharing
Some secrets kept
They need protecting
From breach or theft.
