Broken Vows

Empty hearts
Broken vows
Shattered crystal on the floor
No more love
You wanted out
You never let me give you more
I tried my best
Good, for a time
After your change, you didn’t want me
I supported you
And your wants
In the end, you were set free
There was a time
You wanted back
I remembered what you put me through
I wanted love
Not with a price
What was this man supposed to do?
You got out
You lived your dream
With many others, you shared your bed
After your diet
After your change
You weren’t the girl that I once wed
