A Painful Love

 

I knew he loved me still when we broke up,

The next day he'd show me his new girlfriend.

He's moved on so soon, I didn't believe,

When he kissed her in front of me to show,

His eyes were open, as he kissed her slow,

That's how I knew it's not love, still hurting.

 

I broke up with him and he was hurting,

Though he's kissing her, I tried to cheer up,

Prove to him the pain's not burning me slow,

Although it was, for she was his girlfriend,

Not me.  I loved him, to him I'd not show,

For I was contained, and he won't believe.

 

That he loved her so, he'd have me believe,

Their kisses grew more passionate, hurting

Me so.  I've moved on I would have to show,

I found a better man from higher up.

Knew how unpromising was his girlfriend,

When so much pain's burning within me slow.

 

He found out about my new man quite slow

Over time.  He was angry, I believe,

But with that man, not me, his ex-girlfriend.

Silently, I knew my love was hurting.

The rich man I found kept my spirits up,

That my ex- was jealous, he'd not now show.

 

He and Tina married, that was to show

Me he'd be with her much longer and slow

Over time.  Yet the man from higher up

Was called Charles and I would have him believe I loved him. 

I married Charles though hurting

For my ex-.  Never again his girlfriend.

 

We married the wrong people.  His girlfriend

No more, his wife now, for Tina would show

Me that his violent anger was hurting.

I knew he beat her behind doors quite slow,

Because of his love for me.  I believe

He hurt for me so, when he beat her up.

 

As his ex-girlfriend, my own thoughts weren't up,

The way he'd show his love for me, believe

Me, I was helpless and hurting so slow.
