how could I know
when love should never have happened, but it did anyway

how could I know?
that love was not your leit-motiv
how could I know
you would steal my heart like a thief
and leave my weeping steeped in grief
how could I know

how could I know
my youthful dreams would wilt and fade
how could I know
my joyful smiles would be betrayed
discarded, like trinkets mislaid
how could I know?

how could I know
I would feel sadness and chagrin
how could I know
my innocence, naked and skinned
snapped and cracked in your cold whirlwind
how could I know?

how could I know
my soul waylaid by selfish strife
how could I know
you would shear me with a blunt knife
an icy void ending my life
how could I know



how could I know
