Out with the old - In with the new

Oh what a heartache
You turned out to be
I thought you were my savior
and my destiny

But you did not respond to me
When I needed you the most
You not only left me on the fence
But hanging by the post

You gave me just enough
To put a smile on my face
You left me questioning
Why I left - when you really just wanted the chase

This false infatuation
Electricity with a short
Made me finally realize
That teamwork was not your sport

I was dying
With overloaded voltage to my heart
You gave me a temporary fix
And made me want to make a new start

You wired up my heart
Disguised with electrical tape
I thought it was permanent
But for you - the great escape

No longer will I burden you
With the likes of me
There are plenty of people
Who would love the chance to be..........

The one who sets my soul on fire
The one who makes me smile
The one who cannot wait to see me
The one who walks the mile

I can guarantee
That by the time December comes
My heart will have recovered
And I will have found the one

My life will take a new direction
The past will slowly fade
And never again will I take second best
To a little girl playing charades

I welcome love again
And I am ready for a new life
I am open to adventure
And becoming someone's happy wife

Do not think I am kidding
My goals are set in stone
I am ready for an open heart
And retirement of a heart that has been so alone.
