All Over Now

You were my very first true love
You told me you loved me so
You made me a solemn promise
That you would never let me go.

We were so very young and free
With not a care in the world
But you moved away from me
And left my heart in a twirl.

I truly thought you loved me
And you wanted me for yours
But you married another lady
And I was heartbroken of course.

Forward I moved and got on with life
Trying to make a new start
Then one fine day back you came
Once again claiming my heart.

Again you moved and left me
What was I doing wrong?
Giving my heart too freely?
Because I wasn't so strong .

Eventually you married me
And I thought my life complete
I gave my all and everything
But to you I was a piece of meat.

'To have and hold and cherish'
Those words meant nothing to you
The emotional abuse never-ending
But still I was in love with you.

Took me years and years of heartache
To make me see and learn
That my love for you was wasted
And was never going to be returned.

So here I am all alone again
Starting my life anew
Realising the happiness
That I can find without you.
