I Was Happy

I was happy for a while I even wore a smile, But, then I got sick of the guile So, I walked away a mile. She said that she loved me But, others weren't allowed to see, It was never, ever about we It was always about she. I was happy for a time I wrote love stories about us to rhyme, Then she made my life feel like a crime I felt like grime. She said that she wanted to be a wife I was hoping that we would share the same life, As a team we would battle all strife Then she cut me like a knife. I was happy for a little bit Loving her I didn't want to ever quit, As a couple forever I thought it was writ But, unto me she refused to commit. She told me in her past she was mistreated And how she was always defeated, She never felt truly completed Then on me, she lied and cheated. I was happy for a spell Inside my soul love and hope did dwell, But, that feeling I wasn't allowed to express or tell I felt like Hell. She left me for another man That was her true plan, She happily went back to where her exploitation began So, I just ran. Randy L. McClave
