Poetry From My Teenage Years Entry #2

This Ain't The Thing To Do

You always told me it would be okay
You said it didn't matter
You told me you would always love me
Now, it's not love your after
I was such a fool to believe it was true
I was such a fool to believe in you

You know what you're doing
Aint the thing to do
Now it's I who has to say goodbye
Leaving me all confused
I thought I would always lov eyou
But I guess we're through

You said I was the only one
The only one you laid your eyes upon
Now I know it was all a lie
Now what should I do about me and you
The answer seems so far away
Will you even listen to what I have to say

Someday I'll find the one that's true
The one that will say "I do"
And then I will be strong in will
To not just stay around til I've had my fill
All you've ever done is told me lies
And now it's time I've said my goodbyes
