Then...Now

If you could have seen the way I felt…then
Plastered on my face
You would have gazed into eyes of pain
That floated in seas of tears

If you could have read about the way I felt…then
Written on my heart
You would have peered on pages stained by heartache
And read a soliloquy that had no end

If you could have heard the way I felt…then
Played by the beat of my heart
You would have heard a melody with one note
In a key so low it has never been heard

No matter the circumstances…then
Change is imminent and one thing rings true…now
I’m not less of a woman because you left
But you would have been so much more of a man had you stayed
