When you told
me about your affair
Even then you
didn’t care,
All your acting
and being cold-
It was me that
was bold
It was so
unjust, unfair.
Whatever you’ve
put me through,
I’m so glad to
be rid of you,
But all the
things that you’ve done
And enjoyed all
the fun
And all the
people that knew.
I felt so
embarrassed and small
And feeling two
inches tall.
Making me
believe
That the blame
was on me
When it was you
that was being the fool.
Although I was
frightened and scared
Depressed, left
out and thread bare,
You went behind
my back
Night clubs,
drugs, when in fact
I needed cash,
but didn’t dare.
I know it was
seldom perfect,
As so many
times there was conflict.
But your poor
attitude
And you being
so rude,
Made me think
it wasn’t worth it.
It was you that
wanted divorce,
In the end it
was me of course.
To make that
decision
Without
hesitation
But never
looked back in remorse.
You rarely ever
compromised,
If you
‘promised’ you seldom complied.
Go through life
like this-
It’s you that’s
taking the risk
So how can you
be so blind?
The wife you
stole from your brother,
The stories
you’ve told to your mother
And the family
you’ve used,
Have a short fuse
I’m so glad I’m
no longer your lover!
Now I’m
claiming, without a job,
It’s so hard to
raise a few bob.
While you’re
living it up
And I’m getting
fed-up
I won’t give in
and sob.
Well now the
tables have turned
And I’m no
longer concerned.
The anger I’ve
had,
Now isn’t so
bad.
I’ve gone
through life and learnt.
Whatever you do
with your life,
Whether she
will become your wife.
Does she know
that you lie
And you’re
two-faced and sly?
When she learns
it’ll cut like a knife.
The most
important thing left undone,
Now that you’ve
left home and run.
Your child
loves you dearly-
Unable to think
clearly,
Her dislike for
you has just begun.
