My Great Gain
I kept your name, and I kept your ring;
I got our daughter and your things--
Your grandpa’s knives, your mom’s dishes,
With your future dreams and wishes.
I kept our friends, church, and car
I kept your life’s savings so far.
You can keep your broken heart,
The still, beating muscle, torn apart.
Learn if it will work again;
It’s up to you to start the mend.
