Turn Tables

Tables have turned 
And now I'm the one to blame 
The turning that pushed me and put me to shame 
Betrayal,disloyalty and dishonesty is on my name 
Consciously the intention was untitled 
Till Subconscious schemed to cause you pain; 
Disloyal, the title conformed to my name 

The reflection i see in my mirror 
Smeared with the look of disgust 
But the blurry image shines with hurt-betrayed look 
''I didn't mean to do it'' its what plays like a song in this portrait 
Put on repeat like a hit song 
To get me well acquainted with remorse 
But i tend to confuse it with regret 
Tables have turned and I'm on the other side 

Tables have turned and i can only see your innocence
Your sincerity reminds me of the clean slate i prepared for you 
But mine was smeared with dark spots of untrustworthy 
Tables have turned and i wish you could reposition them 
Hearts broken, 
I wonder who will mend them 
Sorry can't even cut a wet tissue 
But i just wish you to understand, 
To broken hearts be the rescue 



If you get this message,know that i couldn't say this in person.
