He spoke
She listened
Her eyes began to glisten
As the dance of rejection commenced.
It’s not you,
It’s me,
Well actually – it’s she,
See my heart belongs to someone else.
Dumbstruck she took
That almighty left hook
Right to the core of her heart
But what do you mean?
How long has it been?
Who is she,
How could this be?
I’m so sorry babe
I don’t know what to say
I guess
It just turned out this way.
So he got up and left
And she quietly wept
Thinking of the life they'd had.
After five long years
It had ended in tears
Alone
With her thoughts and fears.
So what happened next?
It’s what you’d suspect,
All her faith in love was lost.
But as time passed by
She stopped asking why
This terrible thing happened to her
Once her heart had healed
Self-discovery revealed
She was happier now,
Without him.
