Grounds For Divorce By M.A.Meddings
If only I had seen the love I had for you,
And I perhaps had even tried to love you,
There would not have been the wounds that hurt us now,
Had I only seen the way you loved me.
Had it been so clear your drift away from me,
And I had just remotely tried to stop you,
There would not have been the man that you love now,
Had I only been the man you wanted.
If only I had seen the monster I'd become,
Had I even heard you say ' I'm leaving',
There would not have been the pain that we have now,
Had I only seen the change in me.
When finally I saw the love you had for him,
How I would have turned back the years,
There would not be, the torture I have now,
If only you could love me like you did.
How I wished this could end, the way that we came in,
a magic that we found so long ago,
You would have no need to leave me as you did,
And I would never cry to see you go.
You could not believe, the way a heart could bleed,
If only you had felt how deep the wounds,
You would not have laughed at me the way you did,
And you would even softly soothe the scars
And finally I’ve seen the devil at four o clock,
but you will never hear the tears I cried,
If only you had seen the scars across my eyes,
but you could never know the way I died.
The end.
