They tell me not to call you
No contact, it’s for the best
Hold back, restrain, wait it out
But, it’s clear you could care less.
Alone to face this heartache
The depth of pain beyond belief
You chose to be with someone else
Someone you’d rather have, than me.
I told you every secret
Gave you my soul to keep
Thought what we had … was magical
It was, it was for me.
Too quick to trust, to value
A love that wasn’t there
In the end, a mere placeholder
To help you get …. from here to there.
A stepping stone, a respite
Not permanent, who knew?
I built my world around you
Now, I don’t know what to do.
Hearts scattered along the roadway
Too many to collect
One day, you’ll find the one you want
The one you will select.
Not for love, I’m sure of that
But, for their portfolio
Money reigns , top of your list
That much I surly know.
A certain polished lifestyle
Trips abroad, a lovely home
A garden to be proud of
And, a house made out of stone.
