Cruelest Cut

There were times you called me vindictive names,
Said so many uncalled for things that hurt.  
You played so many emotional games  
And with my friends you did shamelessly flirt.
Was there ever a time I lost my shirt  ?
Despite your disdain and cruel intent  
Your burning barbs and maleficent bent  
Most steady, steadfast was my love for you
So t'was the cruelest cut when you went
Forever deserting a love that's true.
