You did not cry when I held you

That night in deep desperation

As I wrapped my arms in sorrow

Around you for one more last time.



You did not sense the soul in pain

When you left fast to run to her

To make sweet love in your new bed

Warmed by your adulterous lies.



You did not see these grieving eyes

Staring softly out the window

While you stole away all the things

That once filled up our tiny home.



You did not heed the shattering

Of my heart crumbling like the glass

Of the crystal china I loved

Now so absent from dusty shelves.



You did not see me as I lay

Broken, tears soaking the empty

Quiet floor of the dark bedroom

That still held strong your lover's scent.



You did not see me lock the door

So softly, for the last moment

Fighting not to run back to you

And believe in true love again.



You, fool, did not see anything

Nor did you hear one single sound

Because you were never in love.

Unfortunately, I was.....
