Black and White

Why can’t things ever be just black and white?

Everything she says is wrong and you are always right

You always think that she has some sort of hidden agenda

Can’t you see how things you say will never, ever mend her?

She was supposed to be someone you deeply cared about

You told her she was your #1 and couldn’t live without

She’s the one who stood by you when the doctors walked away

She yelled at them to do their work because it wasn’t the end that day

She stood by you and comforted you through your many issues

The thanks she gets is tears that she sheds into her Kleenex tissues

She is trying to leave all the pain and the hurt buried in the past

But every time you speak to her, her happiness doesn’t last

She took her vows seriously and stayed your faithful wife

You told her that your loved her and would all of your life

You used to speak to her with loving words, you now say to others

You never tried to understand, but always understood your lovers

She’s going through a crisis now, which may cost her; her life

And you are thousands of miles away, waiting for your new wife

But money seems to be all you care about, it’s spoken everyday

You’ll keep your appearances up; your golden goose is on her way

She also found happiness and he is the total opposite of you

He will be the one who will make all her dreams come true

He’s is not a pretender who uses people for personal favors or fame

She is herself with him, confident, loving and not playing in this game

When you are rich and famous, will you still remember her?

Or will your new wife make remembering her all just a blur

Now you can’t even manage to say I love you, like always when apart

And when you do, it comes from your mouth, not ever from your heart

So when you read this poem she wrote for you read it again and recall

Your life together had many ups and downs, but you’re the one who dropped the ball
