Could Have Been Poem by graham russell

did you love me did you really
were the lies and the evasions
just in my mind

the times you accused me of
cheating or being late
as if id ever cheat on thee

one woman was all i wanted
and all i got
you my sweetheart thats
what i got

a woman who could make
my heart sing with love
or with tears

why did you hurt me love
why did you cheat
when all you had to do
was tell me you never loved
me at all

so much pain and hurt
so many tears from both
in this web of lies

one heart beats with love
one with fear and loneliness
both not being true
to the other

dreams in tatters
broken hope
trust gone

all lying on this
floor barren floor
of could have been
