You used to write me
into the melody and said,
"Darling, you're my muse."
I guess, it did not occur to me
that things ended
the way that it did.
I'm certain that you'd come around
but I wished that I'd listen
to all the warning signs
that Frank had laid out for me.
I didn’t
because I love you so much
that it pains me
to see you happy
with her,
with Elizabeth.
I remember that you used to write me
into a melody that said,
“Darling, you’re my forever”
and I believed it.
