Love Poem: Use To Be

Use To Be

I guess you saw the note on the door
And the clothes all folded up on the floor.

I was going to leave before you got home.
It’s easier to leave when I’m all alone.

I guess the neighbors called when they saw the movers pull in,
And I don’t have to guess where you’ve been.

Yes, it’s plain to see.
I don’t even want to know if you still love me.

I’m leaving today!
Theirs nothing left to say.

I know the tears you cry are not for me,
But for a love that use to be.
