I was crushed…yes, devastated
I couldn’t catch my breath
Gut punched and blindsided
Could not believe the things you said.
A million lame excuses
You were frantic to explain
Why this all was happening
Why you felt, I was to blame.
My hands would not stop shaking
My heart began to break
It was shattering into pieces
Make it stop , for heaven’s sake.
I begged you to be quiet
It was more than I could bear
The words unclear and jumbled
But, you simply didn’t care.
So anxious and impatient
You were eager to move on
It wasn’t long….you left that night
By morning you were gone.
I heard you close and lock the door
You walked out on me
You walked away, no looking back
In the mailbox…. was the key.
Weeks went by, now decades passed
Nothing more that I could do
Just wish I could stop thinking
Stop thinking about you.
