My trembling fingers reluctantly
Hit the 'replay' button for
What seemed like the umpteen time
(Just to hear your voice again...)
Tears uncontrollably fall over
My swollen eyelids
Ruining my blatant emotions
(Why did I press that button?)
Your shabby apology recorded on that tape
You trip over your words
Desperate for my forgiveness
(Your every word tears me apart...)
Shouting in frustration
I finally took the tape
& crushed it with my foot
With the anger I felt for your betrayal
(I'm not going to play back
Our memories ever again)
