Thomas King Poet Rhyme

Breaking the Rules

I really thought I knew 
But I was sadly mistaken
The advantage over me 
You had easily taken 

The wool had completely 
Covered my eyes 
As I fell for all your excuses 
******** and lies

You were so dame convincing 
Played the part so well
All the while pretending 
And I could never even tell 

Until the day you faltered 
And let your true self out 
I finally got a glimpse 
Of what you were truly about 

I couldn't really believe it 
I didn't want it to be so
But now that you're exposed 
I have no choice but to go 

I will no longer be made
To look like a fool
And never forgive myself 
For breaking my own rule

The rule most important 
That was number one on my chart 
To never completely give 
Someone my fragile heart
