Amethyst

I can't even look at you
It's more than I can bear
The raw silhouette like amethyst
Hidden 'neath your hair.

And I know how he'll take you back
Contrition in his stare
And how I can't appreciate
The connection that you share.

And I try again to be a friend
There to dry your eyes.
And I try again to understand
But now it's your turn to decide.

Silver pendant 'round your neck
A token of remorse.
And your heart is his again.
A pattern reinforced.

And I know he'll be good to you
Tomorrow and a day.
And you know, I'll be here for you
The next time he goes astray.

And I try again to be a friend
There to dry your eyes.
And I try again to understand
But now it's your turn to decide.

And then it's only us
Your laugh always lifts the room.
I mourn each passing minute
Cause I know he’s coming to get you soon.

And I smile as he kisses you.
Lips I've never known.
And I wonder if he misses you
Half as much as I am prone to.

I try again to be a friend
There to dry your eyes.
And I try again to understand
But now, now it's your turn and
I try again to be a friend
There to dry your eyes.
And I try again to understand
But now, now it's your turn to decide..
