Rainy Day

You left me on a rainy day in May
You were surprised when I
Didn’t beg or try to make you stay
You’d never met a man like me

You didn’t know I saw it coming
When you became more materialistic
Which was a major negative to me
I’ve no time for greedy women

That debonair rich guy you left me for
Cheated and made a fool of you
When you begged me to take you back
And said you changed and needed me

I couldn’t go back with you; I’ll tell you why
You desecrated our perfect love
As if you drove a stake through my heart
And killed everything we had forever

And I could never trust you again
And I knew usually changes don’t last
Despite desperate promises and tear-stained vows
And the wound from that stake will always be in my heart

At Her Gravesite

I stood at her gravesite
my life over
a bouquet of flowers
in my trembling hands
the array of flowers
watered by the tears
dropping from my eyes
I cried and cried
a thousand more tears
as I mournfully wondered
why God had taken
the sweetest girl
the love of my life
away from me
just seventeen
dead in the ground
on that cold
September morning
my first love
my last love.
