You say you feel empty
I really don’t understand why
The choice was yours to make
You can’t now falter and cry.
You tried to turn me into your spare
Your safe bet number two
Wanted to keep me dangling there
For no one else but you.
You said you made the right decision
With no feelings of regret
But then you kept on calling me
Like I was some stupid pet.
Emotions are complex things
So perhaps I understand
But your decisions were not made with the heart
It was a poker hand.
Every time we went for coffee
I saw you with fresh eyes
The playful smile and soft soft lips
Deceiving little white lies.
You say I have abandoned you
But you know this is not true
I have set us free, so that we can be
Whole again and new.
