I Knew It From the Start

So there she goes, 
as fast as she got here,
I knew from the start,
this is what I always fear.

I fear I'll never be good enough,
for the one that steals my heart,
I swear I saw this **** coming,
I knew it from the start.

You gave me little reason,
to believe your love was true.
You thought some texts and phone calls,
would be enough to break right through.

My walls are far too thick for that,
I've had my ego and pride stolen,
there are no tricks left in this hat.
but my heart still remains golden.

I wont let you in that easy,
I've learned from my mistakes,
you have to try harder than that,
try to understand just what it takes. 

I've been beaten down and left for dead,
by someone else that took my heart.
I swear I saw all this **** coming,
I knew it from the start.

Hello John Fedele, your poem is so sad. I can tell that your heart has been broken. She did that to you, she is not worth it. She is not for you.Have a nice evening my friend.
