Settled
You told me you had a career and a wife,
And no space at all for me in your life;
You made me no promises, so I
Settled for loving another guy …
Then you returned, so nearly free.
But I had my children – silly me!
So you settled down with one of your others,
And I was content as a wife and a mother …
But it did not last long – does anything do?
I could not feel for him what I still feel for you.
So, then I was free, but true to form,
You’d married her - a port in a storm …
So now we have settled, each for a half-life:
Me with my kids, and you with your new wife.
