Mistaken

Trillium

Foolish was I to have believed you
Insufferable acts did I endure
I never betrayed, never deceived you
Was always behaved, ever demure
So long to all the poetry of emotion
It’s crumpled up and strewn upon the floor
So long to all the sunflowers in my garden
For they’ll not taste the raindrops anymore

Betrayed by your whispered lullabies and empty cries
The lake damming up all my solemn pride has left me dry
Forsake all of the thousand counterfeit sighs
You fake it
You make it that I was mistaken

Sanctity fled beyond retrieval
The church of my heart was not enough
I cannot believe you’d be so evil
Devotion besieged and left to rust
So long to all the harmony of emotion
She left before we could settle up the score
So long to all the violets in my garden
For they’ll not see the sunlight anymore

Betrayed by your whispered lullabies and empty cries
The lake damming up all my solemn pride has left me dry
Forsake all of the thousand counterfeit sighs
You fake it
You make it that I was mistaken

Too many signs ignored
Beneath the rose are always thorns
And Sleeping Beauty never will awaken
Now wasted time and fairytales are all I see within your name
And every way I ever was mistaken
