I’m your friend she protested

As she supplied my tears with the little emotion she invested

I’m sorry I repeated

As she lied and cheated

And tore me apart

Right down to my achey breaky heart

 

I’m sorry was all he could yell

As he heard my heart knell

For the sorrow he caused

And the way our love paused

Bitter minus the sweet

When a lover and friend meet

And for you don’t exist

To make their lust twist

As they fondle and laugh

Ignorant of the sound as your heart halves

And thirds

And quarters

There’ll be no breaking of waters

Or ring on the finger

We cannot linger

In this not so humble abode

We once called a home

 

Just me on my own

Strong although lone

Like a wolf in the night

Let the moon be my sight

 

But I’m blessed to be surrounded by family and friends

Who’ve helped my heart mend

Who’ll stick by me till the end

And never part ways

Till the ends of our days

 

And to God up above, and all around

I throw my hands up in praise, unbound

 

And you, what have you got?

Was it worth throwing in your lot?

 

For I am happy; I am safe; I am free

And I am being me, me, me
