It was OK, but not much fun
Looking for someone to share my life
Friend and companion, not just a wife
You came along, and I knew in a moment
We would give each other fulfillment
It was so great, there at the start
Filling the needs of each other’s hearts
Great times passed, as they can do
I started backing away from you
You began to withhold your approval
Easy for you, to me it was brutal
We used to love to be with each other
Then even talking became too much bother
As
we grew apart, you became sore
Then we didn’t make love anymore
All the confusion, I tried to analyze
Unable to see the pain in your eyes
We both gave up the desire to care
Trust and love were no longer there
I don’t know what happened to us
Ending so negative, what started as plus
I never want to be hurt like that again
Nor hurt someone who once was my friend
How has someone I thought was so great
End up being the one I most hate?
Maybe ‘cause I expected you to be ….
The one who would heal …. the wounded me.
