Four Long Years

© Anne-Marie Brzezinski (2012)

I really wasn’t into you
There wasn’t much that I could do
The others said we’d fit, we two
It couldn’t have been more untrue

Although you seemed to speak so straight
You couldn’t quite communicate
I saw right through, there’s no debate,
The promises you made too late

The only thing you cared about
Was fame, control, and growing clout
The game you started has played out
You left us in a stagnant drought

You should’ve known I wouldn’t take
Those rigid rules you sought to make
That kind facade was all a fake
It’s time for us to take a break

Who was right and who was wrong
It’s something I knew all along
Resentful feelings have grown strong
You’re being sent where you belong

For four long years all I could see
Was change that brought on misery
The next one brings no guarantee
But suddenly I feel so free

So now I stop to search my heart
I know we’re better off apart
We’re much worse off than at the start
I’m filled with hope as you depart
