Never Meant A Word She Said. Poem by Reginald Walker

I am not going to complain
No matter how bad life gets.
I will live my life simple and plain.
I will live my life and I will have no regrets.

Why should I even care that you are gone?
You were being held in another man's arm.
Can you see the pain you have done?
Still, you say, 'I meant you no harm.'

Therefore, tell me why should I cry?
Why should I shed even one little tear?
If you make your bed, there you must lie.
Therefore, I am not sorry you no longer stay here.

I am blessed to wake up each day.
I enjoy having peace of mind again.
Please, understand the joy that comes my way.
Since, you are no longer here, my girlfriend.

Therefore, I am not going to complain.
I am not going to spout one single word.
I will not allow myself to cry over you again.
However, my cry will not go unheard.

Therefore, let the world laugh at me.
'You let a good girl go, ' are the words they say.
Lord, they do not understand how good it feels to be free
From someone who never means a word they say.
