This is to you.

You who tried to play the Martyr,

you who took away my trust,

you who burdens my every day with anger.

I saw you before I left

walking around along the street

and even in the music library

In sheer defiance, you glanced at me.

Keeping the oath I made,

I never spoke a word.

I left that town keeping that vow

yet your enigma remains unsolved, even now.

Was I your experiment?

Was I the test of you ego's health?

How could you think I would know you.

You didn't even know yourself.

After many years, I still pray to God

that I will learn to trust again.

A trust I can give to a true, genuine man.

Well, perhaps someday, maybe.
