I Tried To Forgive You Poem by Barry Middleton

honey I tried to forgive you
you did everything heaven forbids
you lied and you cheated
I felt so mistreated
you're the reason that I hit the skids

you said you always would love me
but that didn't mean a thing
I should have known
that an ill wind had blown
you even hocked your wedding ring

honey I tried to forgive you
you did everything heaven forbids
you lied and you cheated
I felt so mistreated
you're the reason that I hit the skids

soon there were promises broken
so I hit the bars like a drunk
you were fooling around
all over town
our love boat had rapidly sunk

honey I tried to forgive you
you did everything heaven forbids
you lied and you cheated
I felt so mistreated
you're the reason that I hit the skids
