All�s Fair When Lovers Part

All’s fair when lovers part

I knew it wouldn’t last

So many stolen moments spent

It all went way too fast…

 

So much for our plans to see the world

All that's left is strife.

All we had is done and spoiled

and just like that, on with your life.

 

Just look how easy it was for you

To nod and turn away;

I see now how it really was---

You were never meant to stay.

 

Permanence is a stall-way,

Diligence is best

But all along I should have known

You were exactly like the rest.

 

But pain is a faint memory

When all is said and done

I have sweet memories to seal away

The emptiness that is to come.
