My world crashed
My security smashed
My life turned to ash

Holding my heart you held
Knowing fully from the start
Your love for me would come apart
(Forgot to tell me the wife part)

The amusement I must have been to you
After 17 yrs of past devotion; over-due
Cradling my soul I thought you knew

My world crumbled into your arms
You gave to me what I thought …no, I couldn’t believe
There be a love so intensely like you and me

Silence inevitably rang so clear
Most profound sounds I’ll ever hear
Alone, I no longer sit, with my tears

Memories fade to black
It’s a blessing; no longer a task
My heart you stole but I got it back!
