Remember when they told us

That love was enough

That the world was fair

And to never give up

And we lived without care

Cause the stories they told us were true

Remember when I told you

My name at the store

And we both became shy

While we both wanted more

We decided to try

And we knew what we wanted to do

Remember when you told me

Till death do us part

Till the end of the world

Then I gave you my heart

And we danced and we whirled

And both our lives had just started new

Remember how we loved

So full of bright light

And we both were content

And it all seemed so right

Through where ever we went

Even when our small family grew

But I don't quite remember

When your mind slipped

Or when the fights started

When we went off script

When the plan departed

Just that I was left without a clue

Remind me when you told me

I wasn't enough

That you wanted more

Your voice and hand rough

You went through the door

Even when I cried and screamed for you

How I wish I could forget

When you served the divorce

When she caught your eye

When my life went off course

You didn't even say good bye

You just left me with a mournful view

Dont you remember when love was enough

To keep you here with me

And now here you are

Saying you're sorry

You shouldnt have left

Crying out your plea

Your tongue just as deft

As the day you left me crying for you

You want me to remember

When we were happy

When life was good

Our hearts were so sappy

So free of falsehood

And when we were one instead of two

But all that i remember

Is how much it hurt

And how deep it cut

How tears stain my shirt

You say you love me

But all I can here is goodbye from you

True charity, you see

that's a gift to you from me.

Giving selflessly is

the height of purity.

Selfish motivations,

a heartless imitation

of those who give for nothing

just for ego inflations.

Taking selfies with the poor,

saying "hashtag #BlessTheLord."

All you're hoping for

Is attention, more and more.

Put down the phone,

we aren't throwing you a bone.

Expect nothing in return

or leave the needy alone.

Listen to their hearts,

and with your ego, you will part.

Give in to the soulful rhythm

That's where we need to start.
