I could scream
I could cry
I could whimper
I could sigh

For all that i could do
You wouldn't look into my eyes
Wouldn't give my desperate words
A single thought for all your lies

Now i understand
That you were never there
Never when i needed you
You hardly even cared

Wrapped up in love for you
I clearly failed to see
That you no longer showed
The love that was meant for me

You never returned my calls
Or dropped by like you said
Don't know how i could have missed
What was running thru your head

Those homecoming football games
And late nights "out with friends"
Taught me an important thing-
The waiting never ends

Sitting by the front window
Waiting to see a jeep
Pull into the driveway
Cost me a LOT of sleep

I finally stopped waiting
And desperately tried to forget
The joy of your thought
however much i got upset

My broken heart began to mend
The angrier i became
Until the thought or you
Made my temper burst into flames

I am left with a beautiful gift
once my temper cools
The gift of no emotions
When talking to someone like you

I listen and nod
While you ramble on
But your words mean nothing
Your folly makes me yawn

I wrote this to you
Just to let you know
that in my opinion
You no longer glow

Your attitude and outlook
Has no compassion or promise
So I'm telling you forever
Good-bye and so long, Thomas.
