Better

we would walk the streets

hand in hand, ignoring all around

life had been bittersweet then

the bitter, faint and unclear

masked by the supposed joy of "sweet" times

for sure that was the reason

reason behind her blindness

reason she stayed so long

she should have known no doubt

known her cahnce

the ones he always seemed to take for granted

the ones that just never were in her

"best interest"

the ones she kept on giving

they kept him around

just to let her down

because he left

just like they said he would

they had always known better than her.
