A Lover's Karma

Once a lover tried to love
But was rejected back instead
Put aside for some other one
Was left in the back alley for dead

"Why does this keep happening?"
The lover asked himself
"The point that they keep forgetting me..."
"And leaving me on the shelf?"

It's one thing to help someone
It's a completely other too hurt
Even if you find another one
Think of the first lover FIRST

Going off and leaving them
Without a say, "Goodbye"
Or not even, "I'm sorry, but it has to end.."
"You're sure one hell of a guy!:)"

But no, just pack your things
And all your dreams and thoughts
Go on to the next best thing
And leave that lover in distraught

Better things are yet to come
And karma will catch on
So while you're doing well and having fun
Just know, your doom, it won't be long
