I'd say this is another that speaks for itself.


Sad Turn around

I’m sorry you stubbed your toe
On your way out through my door
What the hell do you expect
When you love me no more

Why did you lead me on?
Was I really that naïve
How come it took so long
For you to up and leave?

The emptiness in your eyes
Your embrace was for yourself
Now I know why you held me
Was to put me back on your shelf

A break-up lyric that Taylor Swift could never compete with. I guess that relationships always need to begin with honesty and end with commitment. Enjoyed.

This poem certainly does speak volumes. Three short stanzas that cover a whole lot of ground. Well written.
Blessings, Allen
