yesterday

Yesterday I had a woman,
though she wasn’t always true,

but now I have no one,
and don’t know what to do.

I loved her more than anything,
and yes, I sure still do,

but I have to protect my heart,
from the pain she puts me through.

The pain no one deserves,
and surely not me,

because a man more loyal and loving,
she may never again see,

unless she treats them right,
like she could not seem
to treat me.

So let her find a cheater,
to do the same to she,

because though I could take it,
it couldn’t, this heart, in me.
