If there is one thing that I have learned it is guys can not be trusted
They fill us with all their lies and bullshit theories
The promises that they make are not promises at all
They are just lame excuses to use me.
You can not make promises for the future
Because those things are unforeseen
And all the words you said to me at the time
Now, you do not mean.
I thought I had lost my soul
The tears on my pillow would verify how much I cried
When I found out the truth about you
How much you actually lied.
I tried to hide all the hurt
And tried to cover all the pain
However, my life was different
It was not the same.
There was a part of me missing
In my heart there was a deep hole
And there was a sadness in my voice
I felt like I did not belong anymore, my life is what you stole.
I wanted to live in a fairy tale world
I tried to make the end come in the middle of the story
But there was no happily ever after
My life held no glory.
So, I came up with my own philosophy of life
Love hurts, therefore love is not free
And the truth is there is such a thing as love
The lie is I believe it is out there looking for me.
Forever does not last forever
You made me feel like dirt
And all the memories of "us" surround me
Because I still remember and it still hurts.
But slowly I have recovered
I realized that my love can not be bought
And put all the memories away in a sealed box
I cared a lot for him or so I thought.
In conclusion, life takes us along many paths
With twists and turns; forks and bends
Everything will work out for the best
If you just give your heart time to mend.
