Cheatin' Ways

You broke every part of me Abandoned my heart , you see Numb and barely hanging on I wondered what went wrong. I trusted you but that trust got lost Now look at the two of us, the final cost Broken in pieces and scattered apart You abandoned me in your heart. Temptation stole you from me Our love light refuses to glow , to be A second chance you will not score Your wandering way closed our door.

Enjoyed reading your creative work..If one has cheated, more than likely it will happen again..Good decision to let it end..That is unless the person gets professional help..Thanks for stopping by, reading, and commenting on my work.I appreciate you taking the time to do so.Oh you would know that the autoharp was out of tune for it has some really sour sounds...Sara
