I\u2019m not a mind reader
\nbut I\u2019m good at sensing things
\nat reading the writing on the wall<\/p>\n
I can see things coming down the pike
\nlong before they arrive<\/p>\n
and I knew despite all I\u2019d done for you
\nthat you\u2019d forgotten those things
\nas if they\u2019d never happened<\/p>\n
and I knew with words not spoken
\nyou had become an ingrate<\/p>\n
and that you had secret plans
\nof leaving me<\/p>\n
and you mistakenly expected
\nsome resistance from me<\/p>\n
not having taken the time to really
\nknow me<\/p>\n
and though you tried to hide it
\nI knew you were angry with me<\/p>\n
for calmly saying you were free
\nto go without making a scene<\/p>\n
and here’s a secret I was hiding
\nI was going to be relieved
\nwhen you finally left<\/p>\n
and I knew my life would be
\nfar better without you<\/p>\n
then it was, or ever
\ncould have been, with you. <\/p>\n
