You left me on a rainy day in May
You were surprised when I
Didn’t beg or try to make you stay
You’d never met a man like me

You didn’t know I saw it coming
When you became more materialistic
Which was a major negative to me
I’ve no time for greedy women

That debonair rich guy you left me for
Cheated and made a fool of you
When you begged me to take you back
And said you changed and needed me

I couldn’t go back with you; I’ll tell you why
You desecrated our perfect love
As if you drove a stake through my heart
And killed everything we had forever

And I could never trust you again
And I knew usually changes don’t last
Despite desperate promises and tear-stained vows
And the wound from that stake will always be in my heart

Bob Boyd
