He didn’t seem to fit the bill

She wasn’t that he liked to feel

Giving her the right side of his tongue

Exhausted her deeply in her mind

No belief in “man proposes, God disposes”

Rather, “one man’s meat is another’s poison”

He was now conscious of losing his love

Looking for a chance to make a better life

Believing in “a stitch in time saves nine”

He asked her to leave, if she didn’t mind

Shocked by his words without saying why

She let him go now like a free bird to fly

She wanted to close the stable door

But he had already left their shared floor

No married life any longer between them

Got separated, he was the only to condemn
