Strife

Yes I saw you

Standing there

With your nose

Up in the air.

I know I really

Didn’t care:

I’m done with

All the strife.

Some people are

Better off apart;

Some relationships

Should never start.

It’s just

The facts of life.

I was lonely

When I said I do-

Young and didn’t

Have a clue-

I’m not the perfect

Fit for you.

I cannot be

Your wife.

I had to say it

Now or never,

So don’t try

To be all clever.

I have to do this.

For me and you

Youre better off

Without me

This is true

My hearts not

In this anymore

It’s becoming

More and more

A chore

I’m leaving

Heading towards

The door

I’m done

With all the strife.
