I closed the car door when I loaded my suitcase
After leaving a note of good-bye.
Soon you'll be learning
That I'm never returning,
So I want you to understand why.

That I signed all the papers
My Attorney asked of me
So you'd know how
It's felt all along.

To be so Rejected,
Mistreated, Neglected
In your mansion made out of stone.

As I pulled from the driveway
To that long open highway
I look back on the way things have been.

All your promises broken
Yes, so many words spoken
That I hope never happens again.

Oh, I know you could give more
Then I ever could hope for
But I'd rather be living alone.

Then to be so Rejected,
Mistreated, Neglected
In your mansion made out of stone.

Sounds like it could be turned into
a song to me...enjoyed the rhythm
and rhyme

It would be nice if you could do something about the relationship right now, while you're hurting...the pain doesn't just go away because you go away...it takes communication and understanding and forgiveness...James

Yes James it sure does take a lot out of a person. I'm slowly starting to understand and forgive. Thanks for the nice replys....

So achingly sad!
I echo James' words and it feels good to hear that you are learning to forgive. Why is it so difficult to get along, I'm sure many will recognise themselves in your strong words.
Love,
Margherita
