I Write Poetry

was a sad scene today
she told him she was leaving
moving out of town
he didn't believe her
laughed he did and carried on

she was serious as she said
I'm not kidding you
I'm really leaving
are you happy for me
aren't you gonna wish me well

he looked at her
a look of disbelief in his eye
c'mon I know you're joking
teasing me again
you been telling me forever
and you're still here
again and again

telling him again she was
leaving for good
she said are you happy for me
he shook his head as he said no

he said you know I love you
been telling you so
don't ya believe me
Why do you have to go

he started to cry
and then he shut down
she said I waited two years
for you to come around

you thought I'd be here forever
waiting for you to make a move
I gave you all the time
in the world
and now when I'm leaving
you can't be happy for me
now ain't that statement so profound

it's all about what you're going to lose
not what I'm gonna gain
it's about you feeling sorry for yourself
if you would've told me
then I wouldn't be leaving
you now
