I see her looking at me
disdainfully.
I know her love for me
has drained out of her heart.
Just a year ago, she said
she’d never stop loving me.
Amazing how a little time
can change the course of love.
Now I don’t love her either;
I never really knew her.
It took time for her real self
to come out of her.
When it did, I couldn’t believe
all the dark things I saw.
She only wanted me for
the money I had inherited.
When the money ran out,
she had no more use for me.
I know she will leave me soon
to find someone with more money.
And I’m good with that, farewell
and don’t ever come back.
Bob Boyd
