He Left Her

By Bruce Clifford 

 

He left her counting reasons
He left her sipping wine
He left her on sinking floor boards
He left her not knowing why

He left her eyes like diamonds
He left her falling apart
He left her in fading emotions
He left her in the dark

Can she climb out of this
Or is she in too deep, and so over it
He left her close to the wire
He left her tears in her eyes

He left her willing to conspire
He left her not willing to try

He left her eyes like diamonds
He left her in the dark
He left her counting roses
He left her with a broken heart
