"Dear John?"
He left to play for another team,
It's true some fans get attached,
And believe reality is their dream;
"He and the team are perfectly matched!"
It's true some fans get attached,
Reality is in the eye of the beholder:
"He and the team are perfectly matched!"
"I must tend to the weakness in my shoulder."
Reality is in the eye of the beholder:
"His leaving is a personal betrayal!"
"I must tend to the weakness in my shoulder."
Divorce is unreconcilable portrayal.
His leaving is a personal betrayal --
Attached ones can't see beyond themselves.
Divorce is unreconcilable betrayal;
Mementoes are removed from trophy shelves.
Attached ones can't see beyond themselves
And believe reality is their dream.
Mementoes are removed from trophy shelves.
He left to play for another team.

Well done!
And then the delivery, not a fast ball, but rather a well delivered slow change of pace. We are left standing at the plate, our bat still resting on our shoulder, mouth open. I mutter to myself "I never saw it coming".
(Thank you for the generous compliment!)
