SWEETEST SONG

I laughed and you smiled.
You were the sweetest song.
We repeated the melody twice.
And then you decided it was time to go on.
My tears did not matter,
because you were not leaving for my tears,
you were leaving for your smile.
Which wavered when I got mad.
But I never would have gotten upset
if you didn't break my heart
every time we were between the bars.

It was not enough to love me,
you needed to show me you loved me.
And not treat me like a leaf
which you could rip without regard.

As I told her -- she treated me like a plate.
Liking me when I was there, and not caring about me when I was not with her.
