It came at first as most unhappy news
I thought it vict’ry in despairs disguise
You were hurt, wounded, I could see the bruise
I wished I could take the pain from your eyes
We spent days together, just you and I
Talking of hopes and dreams and of romance
I said I wanted to give us a try
You said you wanted to give us a chance
I gave you the time I felt you needed
You left for a time to mend your heartbreak
The warning signs I saw went unheeded
I refused to see just what was at stake
Your return was imminent, like our doom
I was merely the dust swept by Life’s broom
