Here's your hour

When I look at you
I never think of what went wrong
I think of how it all switched
How my sweet little Kitten
Became the Viper in the dark
Waiting to strike
Without a second thought
For those pesky repercussions

I think of the hour you ask for now
To give me the answers
To questions I asked so long ago
I think of time falling through the hour glass
And sands shifting in the wind
And changes inhaled like the sharp scent of seasons

I think of the words you poured in my ear
Like poison in a glass
The venom flowing from your fangs
Into my veins, to my heart
Where it shatters from the lies
That fell from your lips
Like whispers from a lover

I think of old times
And loving words
Memories both cherished and needed
And I think of the truth
The lies you couldn't reveal
The truth you couldn't tell
Your need to hide within yourself

I think of the trust I wasn't worthy of
And the dreams you built up
To tear down with your own hands
I think of my need to be part of you
And you clawing me away

Fangs bared, and lies told
You pushed me past my point
And now you ask an hour more
For redemption?
Or more lies and pointless stories

Your hour was lost long ago
Its buried in the sands of time
Right beside my love for you
