No Longer Interested In You
You never seemed to care during an earlier day.
Never would you ever even look my way.
All along, you said I wasn’t good enough.
Recently, you and your man faced times that were rough.
He cheated on you. That can’t be denied.
Your spouse never told the truth. He always lied.
Hubby had another woman waiting in the wings.
Between the two of you, you experienced terrible things.
Your ship is now sailing on an entirely new course.
You had to struggle through an egregious divorce.
Now you turn to me hoping to fill your void.
I am not interested because it's you I want to avoid.
