To the Man I Love

 

When we met you were kind,

Handsome, and

Clever

We thought we could make a life together

With time came trust

Respect, and

Devotion

Your love brought out every good emotion

I gave you my heart,

Love, and

Life

The day that I became your wife

Together we would laugh,

Cry, and

Sing

Life was such a joyous thing

Soon you began to lie,

Cheat, and

Play

I didn’t know, ‘til that fateful day

You’d found another woman,

Love, and

Life

You said you’d like to make her your wife

Now my life’s empty,

Lonesome, and

Sad

As I remember the life that we had

Today I will sit,

Think, and

Cry

Asking myself the same old “Why?”
