JUST AN APPLE

You took the best of my love,
and then cast me aside.
I was just an apple,
and you had no use for the rind.

Bouncing on the cobblestones,
or in the gutter,-
it didn't matter.

I dragged myself on my knees,
bruised and dimpled, bleeding,
but I still kept hope in my eyes, (ever the optimist),
and what a let down of the world it is,

 When I wait in the darkness,
hanging on in the wake of the chill,
and you never show,
to take my hand.

Wrote it because was thinking of her, reminded of her by "Leonard Cohen: I'm your man" DVD.
I miss her, I feel alone without her.
Not sure if "ever the optimist" should be in there.
