I sit here all alone
Wondering where you have been.
You stumbled in at half past four
This mornin’ again.

I watched you as you undressed
And I saw all the signs
I know what you’ve been doin’
I can read between the lines.

My heart aches for us
For what we once had
How could our lovin’
Turn out so bad

I sit here all alone
As you paint the town red
Trying to convince myself
It’s all in my head

I watched you as you undressed
You broke my heart for sure
To see that you had been out
Making love again with her

My heart aches for us
For what we once had
How could our lovin’
Turn out so bad?

Gossamerwings...

          Oh, I feel the ache in this one,
    and you put it into words so very well.
             I hope it gets better....

That is very sad and if there is any truth to it then there is no reason for you to stay. I can tell you right now that what you once had will never return if that is all the respect you are getting.
I can tell by the words and feelings in this poem that you are way too nice to be used and that's what it is, BEING USED.. so sorry to see your heart abused like this..

take care.....ethome..

Thank you all for the wonderful comments
but I did not go thru this myself,I only wrote about what I know goes on.
Maybe it will help someone to come to that decision you guys spoke about.
Thanks again for reading and commenting.
Much appreciated!

Glad it's not a 'personal' experience. This sounds like a song.

Very sad poem.  Glad it is not true to life for you.  Good writing.

Gossamerwings very beautiful yet so sad so often the ones that need love the most tend to throw it away upon another that doesn't care in the least one day he will understand love starts at home.
