Use me

I have read all of the tricks in the book.

How to love, be loved. 

'Flutter your lashes, make him feel important'. 

And so I did....

The drunken night gets less vivid,

We talked, and kissed.

You told me things I've heard before,

they somehow seem more real when you say it. 

And so I believed.

The night is over, all too soon.

You hold me like I've always craved,

briefly, I feel safe. 

You whisper to me and lead me astray.

So I followed...

You take all of me, I have left to give.

Colder now than before. 

Still drunk you manage a careless arm around me.

Realisation that I have been used.

Once again. So I crumbled.

Lying there, I didn't understand.

I only ever searched for love.

Another bed of false hope, an echo of my lonely heart.

And so, I left.
