You left me on a rainy day in May
You were surprised when I
Didn’t beg or try to make you stay
You’d never met a man like me

You didn’t know I saw it coming
When you became more materialistic
Which was a major negative to me
I’ve no time for greedy women

That debonair rich guy you left me for
Cheated and made a fool of you
When you begged me to take you back
And said you changed and needed me

I couldn’t go back with you; I’ll tell you why
You desecrated our perfect love
As if you drove a stake through my heart
And killed everything we had forever

And I could never trust you again
And I knew usually changes don’t last
Despite desperate promises and tear-stained vows
And the wound from that stake will always be in my heart

Bob Boyd

It’s Spring
The daisies bloom in fields
The bluebirds sing in trees
The streams murmur happily
The world is renewed
But my heart is in a desolate winter
because you are gone from me.

Bob Boyd

the winter is gone

the new season’s warmer weather

leaves me mournful and cold

tears like April showers

rain from my eyes

my girlfriend lies dead

in the Spring ground
