Opposite of what I knew
Had a big heart that was true
Give anyone anything needed
Not selfish no, generous decreed
Your wish was to make me happy
You knew my past, determined crappy
You were different in so many ways
Sickness brought anger, bitter days
No longer did you smile for no reason
Hardly enjoyed any holiday seasons
Misery became your friend in life
Misery caused contention and strife
You haven’t been happy in many years
Say hateful words, I hold back my tears
I thought our love would always be strong
Love wilted as a rose without water too long
Now we are living just as roommates
No longer living as someone who dates
Too many years of strife come between us
Then when I got sick you really were a doofus
Spoke as if I were deaf and couldn’t hear
My heart broken, empty void of any cheer
I had become a burden to you now
Whispers, regrets, spoken loudly. Wow!
Now I’m better and wish to leave
Your grasp gets tighter wish to cleave
It’s too late now, damage is done
Rainy days have blocked my sun.
I wish to live what life is left
Happy not miserable or effed.
