Tell me how to stop these tears,
and chase this pain away.
I have not a clue,
for it runs so deep.
When you love one so totally,
and give them your every all,
I thought your reward would be,
just exactly the same in kind.
How could this world repay,
all that I did offer,
with such bitter
pill to swallow,
dose after dose,
til I became
bitter myself?
Leading the race
every lap,
but the last.
Victory stolen, given away,
to this faceless stranger,
who paid no dues,
but claimed my prize.
