Duet

"YOU BROKE MY HEART" NO YOU SOLD ME OUT"

So often we are actors in a play that's often tragic
the lines are old and worn and they wished they had done magic.
If they had  pulled a rabbit from a hat
they might laugh instead of shout.

Lying in a field of love believing hidden in the grass
clinging there in desperate fear hoping it will pass.
neither one will speak of it for fear of losing hope
weighted down within themselves not knowing how to cope.

Pieces of their hearts do crumble
beneath the weight of time
slowly sinking in the mire 
of love that's so unkind.

So goes the days as man and wife
Who forgot that they were friends
two souls that once were joined as one
now trying to pretend.
