And If I Keep Burning my Hands On the Stove Know its beacuse I Love You

the one thing ive learned
is boys come and go
it started at a young age
that time in between being conceved
and being born
thats when it all started.
my dad left
before i was born
leaveing me with scars
and a fear of men
and knowlage that all men will leave you
then my mom got re married
i learned to accept someone again
not really
but ive always been a good liar
and he left too
so,
in my short life
my moms on serious guy number three
not really a "boyfriend" guy
well i lost count
and all its taught me is
that men come and go
they come in
and they make promises
and then they leave
and they break them
thats all my exsperiance has taught me
yet i find myself trusting that this one wont leave
me on serious relationship number 1
i find myself trusting
and maybe it will be like trusting
that the red on the stove wont hurt me again
while stareing at the scars from the last time
or maybe it will be like jumping off a building
and hopeing that a tramopline will appeare
but sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind
i mean
just cause my life had a whole lot of a******s in it
dosnt mean that it always will.

Sometime we learn from other people experiences. I learn from 11 divorces of my parent to wait and be ready for marriage. One wife, four kids and a good life. I did better. Just like your experiences in your poem. Real life can be a bear. Need to allow people who can tell the truth from a lie. I like the last lines. There are people who want happiness and forever. A excellent poem.
