Beyond All Hope

She sees him in a different way
And she don't think he's changed
Although her view of him has
His name no longer brings a smile
Instead an occasional tear
The good times make her sad
As if a longing for them back

Toils with her emotions
Like they're nothing but a game
The place in her heart for him has grown dark
And shall never see the light of love again
His rich smile has turned cheap
His eyes have grown shallow and empty

Worth it? She doesn't know
Was it true? She thinks not
It was a lie
At least part of it
Why tie her
And wind her into you
And discard her as quickly as can be?

The gentile touch she grew to love
No longer has the same appeal
And he
He treated her as if she's nothing
And she was nothing to him
The one she thought could save her
Dug her deeper in despair

She sees him in a different way
And she don't think he has changed
Although, her view of him has
The place in her heart
For him has grown dark
And shall never see the light of love again
