Poem Title:
Poem
You told me you wouldn’t leave You promised you would stay But now because of her You’re considerably far away You reassured me that you loved me That you’d always be by my side But once she pledged her loyalty You left and so I cried Without you I felt lonely Unable to move on I knew that life would get easier ‘Cause it’s darker before dawn I tried so hard, I really did To forget how you betrayed me So many years of marriage And to think how you repaid me What does she have that I don’t? Did I ever do something wrong? It feels like it’s been forever Since the last time I felt strong You left me in the dust So cold and hard like stone In all the years I spent with you I never thought I'd be alone I remember walking down the street When our hands were intertwined I remember the time of innocence When I was so sure that you were mine Your fingers entangled in my hair Your kisses upon my cheek Your soft breath upon my freckled face That made my knees feel weak You said that I’d recover I just can’t help but see You caressing her tender face While I’m wishing it were still me I feel the life drain out of me Just as when you did leave But I smile to myself as I go Because it’s you who’ll get to grieve As much as I am filled with hate It pains me to see you cry I wish you’d realized you still loved me Before you saw me die
