A man

Alberta Houghtaling

Free verse
There was a man i fell so deeply in love with
we were all good for about 8 years.
Until one day he decided to leave and left me
drowning in my tears.
My heart was broke my life turned upside down
and still i never really know why.
My heart belongs to him even though he left me high and dry. I loved you with every ounce of my being but not to be treated like this. You said that you would never leave and now i know that it was all just one big lie
