A Woman Alone
My eyes have been opened i see the light
I wish the truth was kept hidden from sight
My anger now strident riddled with fight
want to rage at indifference through the night
Silent tears track lines down my face
As i think of the things that lead to my disgrace
How foolish i was to even give chase
Its serves me right to be alone in this place
What he said.. i thought he was sincere
Or were the words just what i wanted to hear
Was it just in my head or did love appear
Only to diminish evaporate and then disappear
When he first arrived.. I ignored his admiration
Played it off as game.. His blatant flirtation
I was to afraid to take serious his actual fixation
And now that i love him it reached it expiration
Why did i think with my heart instead of my head
Alone again picking up pieces of love now dead
Many friends warned.. Cajoled and said
Listen not to the words he whispered and fed
Tis lies he spoke as wormed his way
To receive my heart and money to pay
Only to return to his friends and slighly say
See this stupid woman she thinks im here to stay
But though i was foolish for short awhile
Then Remembered to use my head to reconcile
Disecting truth from lies.. meanwhile
Recreating my life without any smiles
But i cant say i didnt want his love badly
Ill never say im not torn its ending sadly
I wont deny i love him ever madly
And i guess ill keep the happy memories gladly.
This woman i am alone without a man
Been on my own so long didnt need a hand
Til he came along i thought life was grand
He turned me all around made a stand
Then left me alone as he walked out the door
I expected him to return never saw him anymore
I dont know if i am just an old whore
But why wont anyone love me forevermore
