When I Look Back

We said "I Do," but you meant I don't, I said, "I Will," you meant, "I won't," At first things were good, then everything went haywire, then cold replaced, that seductive fire. What a mess we have created, you and I, our foundation of love, was all a lie. Trapped in a cage with someone I don't know, looking for an escape, I married a pro. My time is coming, I will run for the hills, you keep all the money, and leave me the bills. This arrangement we have, is not working out, you have the bed, and I have the couch. Never an invite to go out on the town, but I'm happy here, you keeping me down. If you treated me this way when we first met, a second date, you would never get. When I leave you ,and face this world, I will look back a woman, instead of a foolish little girl.
