Who Told You

Who told you ? Who told you that I would still be here waiting ... Bandaging and patching, cooking and cleaning, hoping and expecting, Anticipating your love towards me, but when the rains came, I looked for you, To nurture me, shower me with kisses and undying love, To pamper me with pillows, fresh cool sheets, and hot bowls of soup, Maybe a massage or loving neck rub, But sad to say you were not there, Instead of tall broad shoulders and a braveheart I looked at my side and found a cold dark shadow, so again I ask you who told you that when you returned I will still be here? My heart still lingers as my mind and body walk away, My now misty love escaping as hot vapors from a helium balloon, But instead of deflating my heart is happy and light, A burden lifted, So again I ask you who told you? Sunsets brighter, head lighter, new attire, Ooh and what's that smell ? A new sent in the air in search of new love, new kisses, new passion, New beginnings and new experiences, something to look forward to, so I again I ask you who? How presumptuous of you to think that I, Little "I" Little " you" would last beyond your cruel indiscretions and bittersweet lies, Your cold heart, my lonely nights and bruised heart, Who told you? Tell me... They lied.
