AMBUSHED

Fair weather friend
I didn’t know
You’d up and leave
Who knew you’d go?

Out with the old
In with the new
You cut me loose
Said we were through. 

The penny’s worn 
It was brand new
But, lost its shine
Now … black n blue. 

Bruised and ignored
Been cast aside
I wept,  I grieved
I cried and cried. 

Turned your back
Just walked away
Forgotten promises
You made. 

Met someone else
She caught your eye
I knew right then
You’d cut the ties.

When did you know
She was the one
That we were finished
We were done?

I was ambushed 
I had no clue
It was all over
I lost you.
