False Hope

It was always in the back of my mind

A suspicion, I couldn’t leave behind

It whispered to me at 2 in the night

When her side of the room suddenly filled with light

Her phone, was always so damn bright

But at the time it wasn’t worth the fight

We have our issues, but we talk

We both did things that left their mark

But through it all we stayed together

Every day we tried to be better

But lately, this weird feeling scratches my heart

It’s as if, unspoken words are keeping us apart

I figured marriage could be the key

Saved up for a ring, spent all my money

Yet this feeling … this shadow I can’t see

It’s at the bottom of my stomach, driving me crazy

She got new outfits for an old job

Wearing lingerie fit for a different job

But they weren’t for me

Never did I feel so uneasy

The lipstick, the earrings and her “do me” fragrance

Looking in the mirror, smiling at an unknown presence

I had my doubts, suspicions, fear

But now my soul is completely clear

It was a Saturday morning

Told her I would be back in the evening

Went to go get what I needed, today was the day

Something told me “call her to say, that you’re on your way”

With a smile on my face and the ring in my hand

 She picked up and then I heard a sneeze from another man

Rage hung up the phone, pain told me to go back

Crazy kept me pumped up, love decided to cut me some slack

I’d be back home in 10 minutes, there will be hell to pay

If there is any proof of infidelity, this will be a bad day

He rushes, she rushes, but it’s not what you think

He is scared, she is anxious, but it’s not what you think

Staring out the window, holding his tears back with all his might

The moment they meet everything will come to light
