I felt that you once loved me, I had hoped that you cared.
Now in confusion, I play games in my mind,
Wondering if what we had together was an illusion or lie.
Lost in the Uncertainty of what, if anything we shared.
Your smiles have become waxen faux memories of another time.
If you loved me, you would tell me, it would not go on this way.
Yet, in reality I am beginning to see, your heart is no longer mine.
I ponder in sadness to which we came this way, was it the long
Hours that I worked, or was it merely how you spent your day?
Did you have another, when you said that you were going to see Mother?
Or were you just escaping to dance to a newer song?
I guess now, as I stand in the pouring rain, that it was never meant to be.
That all you wanted in life was a means to be free.
So run along my dear one, and never more look this way,
For I in my sadness will find a brighter day.
