Alone Again
She left me once, she left me twice,
But after several days
Returned and asked forgiveness,
Saw the folly of her ways.
Once bitten twice shy it's always said
And I was bitten twice,
Yet I believed her promise
That it wouldn't happen thrice.
A promise that she meant to keep,
A love that would endure -
But once again it's happened
And I'm sat alone once more.
And this time she has gone for good
But nobody is scoffin';
This time she didn't run away
But went off in a coffin.
I've had to take it in my stride.
My friends say I am plucky,
Inside I smile and tell myself
'It is true - third time lucky!'
