The Second Time Around...

Love's not better, the second time around, not with you at least, in quick time I found; you hadn't changed your frame of mind, you were too ruthless and still unkind. The years had only made you bitter, the time you had with me, you'd fritter; I had more good things to say and do, than moan and whine or compete with you. My one divorce for you was not enough, you still remained embroiled and rough; so you caused me to go and make it twice, because your love to me, it wasn't nice. I only wanted for you to meet me halfway, but for you, there's only one damned way; you wanted to be the domineering one, well now the place is yours...have fun. But don't expect to see me anytime soon, can't stay with someone crazy as a loon; love's not better the second time around, not with you at least; that much I found.
