What could you tell me 

That I don’t already know

What could you sell me 

That’d make my life grow.

–

What else could you reveal 

That would set everything right

What could you gesture, a meal

To appease all my appetites

–

What could you do to restore faith 

Then and only then your kindness starts

So, why so often are you a wraith

Cruelty not love, did you impart.

–

What other games would you play

Toying with the purest heart

When your final hand is played 

Is when resentment starts.

–

How far will your “sorries” go

To reassert my favor with you

Are you truly sorry, “no”

The main reason I left you.

–

Marriages come then they go 

When someone leaves it’s earned

After years of the to and fro

The love, destroyed, it’s burned…
