The Man I Once Loved
Walking into the room she stops in her tracks
looking dead in the eyes of the man who claims to love her
red lipstick smeared across his lips, with a half dressed woman in his arms
“Its not what it looks like!”
“Well it looks like you have made it very clear that I am not your one and only”
She looks down and the ring on her left hand shining like the brightest star in the sky
She slips it off of her hand and then throws it onto the ground
Tears began to fill her eyes
“Don't cry”
“You aren't worth my tears”
“then why are you crying?”
“I'm crying for the man that I married, and that is not you.”
She then turns away and walks out the door.
