This is just a song. It didn't happen to me but I saw it happen to many and destroyed their lives..... . . I just got your email slowly scrolled it down you wrote about the changes that you're making now I just couldn't take it and cried to think how you carelessly reminded me you lived with someone new You said you've been worried bout my state of mind wished things were different but know things heal with time You want us to be friends Feel free to call and talk so all those years together won't be completely lost. So I'll make this one reply to you and ask you what I should do...... with these photographs of you and me this wedding ring and memories this home of ours a special thrill we proudly bought in suburb hills This bedroom with no pillow talk Occasion cards saved in a box the promises you left with me these shattered dreams and used to be's. I'm hoping you'll answer offer me some help but you're still making changes and dealing with yourself I just can't imagine how the years slipped softly by the future became pretense I loved you while you lied.. I'll make this one reply to you and ask you what I should do...... with these photographs of you and me the wedding ring and memories this home of ours a special thrill we proudly bought in suburb hills This bedroom with no pillow talk Occasion cards saved in a box the promises you left with me these shattered dreams and used to be's. |

Nice Poem Eric, It just goes to show you. Stay away from the burbs. They're nothing but bad news. Bobby |

Well written, in style and content. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |
