Sincerely Your Ex
Love of my life
Once I believed you were mine
and you were sure I was yours
but after all we went through
you were able to leave
without any remorse
All those years
I believed we belonged together
and you were sure we did
but it all ended in tears
when you left with your crisis
of life's mid
No room for the old
not even for the kids
your love suddenly stone cold
leaving us nothing
but broken pieces
and bits
You started out anew
believed it was for the best
and I was sure it was
for you
but we were all a mess
And now you've been left
she packed her things and took a bus
and you wrote you want to come back
but that wouldn't be for the best
for us
For after you left
you see
I picked up all the bits and pieces
you believed no longer were yours
and I was sure were mine
I took care of everything
and now
we're all just doing fine
No need for you these days
no not this time
and you can blame your selfish ways
for here's
where I draw the line
I wish you nothing but the very best
and you know
where to send the cheques
So goodbye
may your days be blessed
Sincerely your

I am pleased you didn't take him back after hurting you that way. Sometimes strong women should prevail. Keep up the good work.

Very deep, to the point, carries the message beautifully - 'get out and stay away', really loved it. Thank you.
