Mistress of Fate

I tried to make you into something you never could be
Kind, considerate, and drama free
I might as well have been adrift at sea
You never lived up to your words that you loved me,

Love and life so much like glass
Smooth and shiny like those who think they have class
When all they are is a cancerous mass
I just wanted you to be my lovely lass,

The older we get the more we see through illusion
The lack of truth in the midst of confusion
Evil and lies become the perfect fusion
A world in trouble, no solution,

Love is like a precious gem
But for humans it's too easy to condemn
The lover you want you can never touch them
Life becomes a rooster without a hen,

Beauty is easily dismissed by the eyes
Seeing only skin deep a hollow paradise
Betrayal comes at the roll of the dice
My fault once you've burned me twice,

Once you've been wounded so many times
The Mistress of fate upon you she climbs
Searching a dark alley where you dropped that dime
The grandfather's clock of your life chimes,

You quickly realize that you're a lost soul
Chasing money and flesh a black hole
The heartbreak begins to take its toll
You, my friend, a TBM Avenger lost over Chicken Shoals.
