Nothing More to Say
by Thomas K. HuntIT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO IN THE SECOND MONTH
ON THE TWENTY SECOND DAY
SHE GOT MARRIED TO ANOTHER
THERE WAS NOTHING MORE TO SAY
SHE NEVER WORE A WEDDING GOWN
PEOPLE TALKED IN THAT ONE HORSE TOWN
HER INNOCENTS WAS TAKEN
HER MOMMAS HEART WAS BREAKING
HER DADDY NEVER SAID A WORD OR IF HE DID NO ONE HEARD
HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH PAIN
HIS LITTLE GIRL GOT MARRIED IN THE RAIN
THE DAY WAS DARK AND THE SUN NEVER SHINED
IT’S ALL SO GO CLEAR IN HIS MIND
IT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO IN THE SECOND MONTH
ON THE TWENTY SECOND DAY
WHEN A BOY LOST THAT GIRL FOREVER
THERE WAS NOTHING MORE TO SAY
EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS HE STILL BATTLES WITH HIS TEARS
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND RESTLESS DAYS STILL SO FULL OF FEARS
HER MEMORY FOREVER PLANTED IN HIS MIND
CHAINS THAT BIND HIS HEART STILL LOCKED FOR ALL THIS TIME
IS IT THE COMFORT OF A LIFE HE USED TO KNOW?
IS IT REALLY TRUE LOVE THAT WON’T LET GO?
IT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO IN THE SECOND MONTH
ON THE TWENTY SECOND DAY
SHE GOT MARRIED TO ANOTHER
THERE WAS NOTHING MORE TO SAY
