The Final Insult

The Final Insult I gave you my youth, I gave you my prime Every single heartbeat, every single dime Built you a kingdom, a home, and a name While you sat back laughing, playing your little game My body, my comfort, my peace of mind All laid at your feet, for you to unwind And then came our son, a gift from above Another piece of me, born of my love And now you dare to ask, how could I not see? The final insult, you throw it at me You left me for a girl, barely out of her teens Shredding my world, tearing at the seams Less than a year, a ring on her hand While I stand here broken, trying to understand This ain't just a breakup, it's a brutal disdain The final insult, etched in my brain Never a worry, not a single doubt I worked and I struggled, while you walked about Provided the future, the dreams that we shared While you plotted your exit, completely unpaired I thought we were partners, a bond strong and true But you just saw a stepping stone, something to use My loyalty, my passion, meant nothing to you Just another conquest, another thing to accrue And now you dare to ask, how could I not see? The final insult, you throw it at me You left me for a girl, barely out of her teens Shredding my world, tearing at the seams Less than a year, a ring on her hand While I stand here broken, trying to understand This ain't just a breakup, it's a brutal disdain The final insult, etched in my brain That guitar solo screams, a pain I can't hide Hits like a hammer, deep down inside But this isn't weakness, no, this is my might Walking away now, into the light No more tears, no more pain, no more lies Just the cold, hard truth reflected in your eyes And now you dare to ask, how could I not see? The final insult, you throw it at me You left me for a girl, barely out of her teens Shredding my world, tearing at the seams Less than a year, a ring on her hand While I stand here broken, trying to understand This ain't just a breakup, it's a brutal disdain The final insult, etched in my brain This is the end, no turning back now The final insult, I take my last bow Watch me walk away, free at last The ghost of our future, a shadow of the past
