Once I had my loved one ready-
-boldly where no woman had gone
before: my truly open heart.
When you have to, you just have-
Well, did you want me-
-on or not?
I didn’t want to say it, but you really have-
-away from here, from me. You had my heart
in your hand once upon a time: open and true.
You said you didn’t want me-
-with you to our wedding,
-up there to say, “I do not love you
any more or any less than you have loved me.”
Yes, I can’t wait-
-on living without you.
-on loving you without your love.
-on without my true heart whole.
My love is something you took with you-
-back to the safety of your lonely past.
I am not for here, but-
Yes, I’m good-
You look better than me-
-in a take out box.
That’s the only way-
