Memories

This is written for a girl who WAS my lover and best friend...at least, that's what it seemed. She lied to me and hurt me deeply. I finally put my feelings into words...

I lay here quietly on my bed

Memories swirling through my head

Birthdays, sleepovers, the day we met

Happy and sad times, my eyes grow wet

I loved you dearly, you were my best friend

Even though others told me this has to end

They said you were bad, that you would hurt me

But love is blind, I refused to see

That slowly, gently, my spirit you were breaking

You never loved me, what was I thinking?

You abused me, scarring my heart and soul

It took awhile for me to again become whole

What did you want?  Why did you stay?

Was there some price I was supposed to pay?

You knocked me off my feet and let me fall

Didn’t seem to care when your name I called

Was I, to you, just a toy?

Your smile for me, beguiling and coy.

You left without warning

Left me here fumbling

Trying to reasssemble myself

Putting my days with you up on a shelf

It’s over, it’s done.

I learned my lesson.

Love is not a game.

You’ll never play with me again.
