Love

Four short simple words, 
Sharp like ancient swords, 
Cut my heart in two 
When you said: “I’m through 
with you!” 
 
Tears stood in my eyes, 
As I watched you rise, 
Pick bags off the floor 
And walk out the door 
for good. 
 
Not too long ago, 
Probably for show, 
As you held me close, 
Four words that you chose 
Were “I love you so!” 
Did you? 
 
As I drank and cried 
Trying to clear my mind, 
Suddenly I knew 
Who I was to you: 
“Just an easy lay...” - 
Four words. 
 
Two years have gone by - 
I began to smile - 
When out of the blue, 
Four words said by you 
Were “Please take me back!”. 
For real? 
 
Who could have surmised 
Such a nice surprise? 
But now, for a start, 
Four words in my heart 
Were “To hell with you!” 
Good bye!
