regrets

It’s a lonely place,
this side of the bed.
No conversation,
no kiss on the head.

How can I make it up to you?.
You look after me so well.
I should have realized your worth.
but I was thinking only of myself.

She meant nothing to me,
it's your heart I hold.
One foolish mistake,
a big one though I know.

You big dirty rat,
did you think id never know,
about the lipstick on your collar,
I think it's time to let you go.

You made me feel so dirty,
I thought I was going mad.
So cruel were your mind games,
you made me feel so bad.

I cooked your dinner for 20 odd years,
washed your clothes, and ironed your shirts.
Made you look fantastic for nights on the town,
from over your shoulder I watched you flirt.

It meant nothing babe, it was only a fling,
it only happened once I swear.
I'm so sorry I caused so much pain in your heart,
and that I really truly care.

It's over, I have heard this all before.
Pack your bags and leave your key.
There's going to be no more next time,
your history and dead to me.

She came on to me, I tried to look away.
I obsessed it was plain to see.
Massaged my massive ego,
but she's not the one for me.

It's too late, I have met my mister right,
he treats me like a queen.
I should have chopped your bobbins off,
with a rusty knife and scream.

I will be honest I see it as free-flowing if there is such a thing. like a fast pace. I am not really up on stanzas and meter etc. I suppose I am still a little raw and ragged around the edges. nice to meet you and thank you for your lovely comments
