There is something that puzzles me,
Things that can’t be so;
If it’s not too much to bother you,
There’s things I’d like to know.
*****
It wasn’t that long ago,
We spent hours on the phone;
But now when I pick it up,
I only get a tone.
*****
Once you vowed you’d love me,
And I have to wonder why;
For now when you speak to me,
It’s only to say goodbye.
*****
We used to spend time together ,
Played and laughed a lot;
Now I never see you,
The good times you forgot.
*****
Once I told you everything,
My dreams and all my fears;
Now when I speak to you,
It’s like you have no ears.
*****
When life dealt me a dirty hand,
You used to hold me tight;
But now if I get close,
You feel so full of fright.
*****
I believed you when you told me,
You’d love me everyday;
Now you say you’re better off,
If I would go my way.
*****
Was I just a one-day deal?
Will we ever be the same?
Did you really love me?
Or was I just a game?
*****
