The Words You Used
The words you used were far from true
Looking back I wished I knew
You pursued and gave the chase
But in the end put me in my place
You knew from the start just where you had me
It was written on my face for all to see
You said it first, I heard from you
I waited until I said I love you too
There was so much more so many a beautiful word
They were the best work of fiction I have ever heard
Everything you wanted all you had dreamed
I guess it was never as important as it seemed
Babies and houses, anything you could get
You said you wanted all of me, every last bit
Then came the accepted offer on your country place
You said you didn't want to go as tears rolled down your face
You said me not him is where you should be
I'll find a way out, just watch and see
Stay don't go, I begged and I pleaded
I am in love with you, you are all that I needed
Once more we made love in our stand of pine
We embraced teary eyed as you promised you were mine
To pass on true love you said you were a fool
In the end you wanted and I was just your tool
Which words were false and which were true
Which words did you mean, I wish I knew
So many beautiful things were said
"What if" will haunt me until I am dead
My words were true they were from the heart
I loved you with all from the very start
My life is in pieces, there is pain every day
I watch on social media as in your new place you frolic and play
If you meant what you said, then how true could they be
Because you are there, and it's not with me
