So easily forgotten
A lark …. A memory
No feelings of guilt or remorse
For what you did to me.
Not trying to conceal …. or hide
You removed the plastic shroud
I heard you laugh …. as you left
I heard you laugh out loud.
I’d been played … it was a joke
The joke that broke my heart
Felt like a poisoned arrow
Had ripped my chest apart.
The pain was unimaginable
Bore through my heart and soul
Left a smoldering blackened path
A deep and empty hole.
You knew what you were doing
When you came on to me
You had a simple plan in mind
A means …. a strategy.
Now I’m left with regret
A loss …. too much to bear
Having to face the bitter truth
That you never …. really cared.
