I Tried

I wanted to make you happy, 
I truly did, I tried!
But my love you through away, 
and a river of tears I cried.

You promised me forever, 
but broke my heart instead.
I thought you wanted marriage, 
but I was sadly mislead.

You would never hurt me, 
blindly i believed this true.
But I should have known better, 
then to ever trust you!
