Once you said you loved me
I asked it was true
You said it again, so I believed you
How long have you been living this lie?
Denying me of all I ever wanted...
Love
That's all I asked of you
Not money, clothes, cars
Just love
Why was it so hard to love me?
Was it because love didn't have a price tag...?
What I wanted most was the least expensive
You couldn't even give me that
You never loved me
If so, prices would not have mattered
What did you gain- NOTHING
What did you lose- your best shot for ETERNAL HAPPINESS
I don't play games
You thought I was a Monopoly set
A piece to be bought
Money only buys so much
I was never for sale

(please forgive my elongated reply below
your words inspired me and I couldn't halt the flow,
thank you for sharing
such relatable words)
we consume from morning to night
at whatever level we can afford
from penny sweets to lobster meals..
and so, we fail to realise
when it comes to relationships
and the people in our lives
there's no price tags, that can undo
some of our mistakes..
so best to think twice
before acting a fool, and throwing away
all that was once, a source of solace
and strength, in our lives...
in the words of Miss Beverley Knight
'Now " Shoulda woulda coulda, " means I'm out of time
'Cause "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool'
Beautiful!
