CHANGE OF HEART



You have a hard time looking me in the eyes,
That is because you have something to hide.

You surely can't justify the things you did,
All the secrets and your motive you kept them hid.

I don't know why I thought I was special,
I guess I figured I had more potential.

You have someone else's arms holding you,
Loneliness and isolation is what I look forward to.

You have no idea how deep a wound can be,
You don't do things like this and walk away Scott-free.

I don't know why you did this you’re like the rest,
A woman Is not for you Oh well you did your best.

You really stopped caring a long time ago,
You lead me on because that's how you roll.

You rock my world then toss me like dice,
It's not the first time you've done it twice.

You look and speak to me as if I were a stranger,
I wonder if you wonder Am I in danger.

Your man is older than your father,
I'm wasting my breath Why even bother.

I get it you had a change of heart,
Being a cold blooded Bitch is not playing it smart.

About this poem

This is about betrayal, lies and a love that no longer lives. One is all alone, the other is with someone new. For a year I was not sure I was going to come out the other side.
