the right thing

Once she started to stray,
I knew would come the day,
she would stray away,

so, I guess I was
just biding my time,
hoping for hope,
but knowing
that known.

I knew she would
leave me
here all alone,
sooner or later,

and that made
my heart quite sad,

and it made
me quite mad,

and hurt me deep,
and lost me sleep,

and made me do
things like a creep,
to try to guard my heart.

I wish I knew all this
from the start,

because this losing her
is hurting my heart.

I didn't want it this way,
I just wanted our love to stay,

and I just wanted her to do,
the one thing she could not,

the right thing.
