The Pain of Love

She sits alone feeling sad,she,s on her own feeling bad 
He had enough and left one day,why did he leave her in that way

He has no idea what he put her through 
Some know how she feels but very few

Would put up with it for all those years 
Many nights spent alone shedding tears

she wanted so much to be loved and respected 
Its not too much to be expected 

She did all that she could for him 
Pampering to his every wimb

Is it so much to ask? 
To have a relationship that lasts?

All she wants is to be held tight all through the night 
Now she goes out every Friday night 
looking for love until the morning light

She finds herself picking up 
Men only to the next day drop

Like a ton of bricks, 
all she wanted was a quick fix

She thought that it would mend her heart 
In fact what she was doing was far from smart

So many men do this to women 
Leave and start a new beginning

Not realizing what they have left behind 
A broken woman left as helpless as a child
