Last One

This is the last one
my last call about you
It's been a long time
but it never cleared my mind

It's been a long day
I don't enough to cry
this journey has taken enough
of me and my precious time

I always believed in you
even though I knew better
you made me feel I was going insane
when the doubts began to set in

I tried to tell you
all I wanted was the truth
you weren't a man back then
nothing has changed between then and now

When I found out for the final time today
I did not weep, even somehow I was surprised
For you to walk out on me and into the arms of another
Again and again, only to tirelessly deny the infidelity

You wasted some of the best years of my life
But I tried to salvage a friendship from this quagmire of hatrid
I know now you are not good enough even for that
I cannot give anymore than I have to you

And now I find it ironic,
writing this little ditty for you,
content and happy that this is resolved
smiling with belated clarity

Your wicked actions somehow allowed me to experience
true love, with a real man
with passion, love, respect and dignity
that you will never feel

with our relationship being purely financial
you made me believe I owed you something
you will not get a dime till the day I die
I will give you this, my love, for nothing
