A Fool For You

I used to think that a lot could happen in 6 months But then you came around and I was wrong In 2 months' time we made our memories You showed me places I'd never been And will probably never see again In no time at all we were head over heels in love Or so you made me believe And yet in time I came to learn That for you love was just a word You came on strong You seemed so sweet, charming, and with a great sense of humor When you first started coming around We would flirt up until you asked me out I agreed but then didn’t show for one reason or another Then one night after work I agreed Met you on my way home Standing there in the parking lot that night You kissed me and everything else seemed to disappear From then on we began to see more and more of each other And I thought maybe I had found what I'd been looking for But you turned out to be just like the rest You didn’t wanna make a life with me or anyone else I stood by your side thru the best and thru the worst And then in the end I was the one that lost it all You hid your phone and kept your messages deleted Time and time again you would disappear And in that time I lost a lot of money But whatever you told me I was dumb enough to believe Until finally one morning enough was enough You weren't there to pick me up from work I sat outside our home in the freezing cold And when you finally made it home Something just didn’t seem right Then again I'm not so sure it ever really was So many people tried to warn me But you had me fooled I was so wrapped around your finger I was blind to the lying, cheating, and stealing There was nothing I wouldn't have done for you Nothing I wouldn't have given you And even after I knew the truth Still I would sneak around and lie Just to be near you, to spend time with you Just to feel like it wasn't all a lie I still think of you from time to time And still you call or text I'd like to think it's because you truly miss me But now you're having another baby with someone new Does she know that you still call? Does she know that you still tell me that you love me? Is she as blind as I used to be? I try so hard to ignore you I try to tell myself that it was just about the sex And though yes it was absolutely amazing For me it was so much more than that And then I get so angry at myself Why couldn't I see past the lies and deceit? What was it about you that had me so fooled? Did I want to believe in love so badly That I was willing to let you walk over me And still let you feed me all your lies Or maybe I'm more angry That even though it meant nothing to you It did mean something to me My feelings for you were real And I really tried thru it all But you were just another player And I was nothing more Than another pawn in your game!!!!!

This held my attention from beginning til end. Many have been in this spot, hindsight is 20/20. Genuinely penned piece.
