It seems so long ago
that we pledged our wedding vows
How did it go?
We promised to have and to hold
To love and to cherish til death we do part
But I sit here now
With a broken heart

I made the mistake
Of building my world around you
That I never should have done
We did and shared everything together
We were almost as one

I lost myself as a person
Because I did everything for you
To my own self
I hadn't been true

You started taking me for granted
And expecting things automatically
I became resentful
Because you weren't doing things for me

You were no longer loving
You treated me cruel
You said I was selfish
Said I was a fool

I tried so hard to make things
like it used to be
But nothing I did mattered
You just turned away from me

You started keeping late hours
and taking more business trips
You'd come home, bring me flowers
but you'd never kiss my lips

I longed for you to hold me
But you never would
I tried everything to bring back that spark
that we once had
I did the best I could

You were so unresponsive
As if you no longer cared
And then I found there was another
With whom your love you shared

At first I was angry
And then I was hurt
Then I became terrified of being alone
I just couldn't continue our relationship
I had to go on my own

I'm learning to pamper myself
To go where I want to go
To do things I enjoy most
The healing process is slow

But I still have regrets dear
that our vows you couldn't keep
You're always on my mind and
My love for you is still deep

I pray every night with such fervor
That the lord will allow us a second try
Meanwhile, as I wait for this to happen
All I do is cry
