David is the worst word in the world.
It means liar, cheater, deceiver.
It means broken trust, broken promises, broken heart.
David is the worst word in the world.
It means dreams crushed, hopes dashed, love gone.
It means bad dreams, dark days, lonely nights.
David is the worst word in the world.
It means can’t-get-out-of-bed days.
It means can’t-ever-breathe-deeply days.
David is the worst word in the world.
It means months of crying, body torn apart, mind lost in confusion.
It means won’t ever be happy again.
David is the worst word in the world.
And I still love it more than any other word.
