Replying to a comment on:
Happy Birthday (Free verse) by psychedelic
I called him up today
To wish him well on his birthday
I'd sing to him over and over if he asked me
I'd sing until I'm breathless if he told me
I'd do anything he wanted done
For I know he is THE ONE
My fingers in a quiver, I dialled his number
Waiting for him to pick up
But another voice answered my call
This voice is not familiar at all
The excitement I felt before was erased
Everything I held dear was taken away
She's his honey, she told me
Well, how could that be?
When only yesterday, he said tenderly
I am his one and only baby
If only I'd kept my eyes open
Today's news won't leave me broken
Anguish fills me as I recall
Those days when I thought I'd fall
I'd be in love once again
I thought he's different from other men
He'd never even dare hurt me
For it is I he loves deeply
Today I must accept he wasn't true
Today I already know he wouldn't do
But I think I should celebrate
This cruel twist of fate
Happy birthday not to him, but to me
From the lies I am finally free.
