I'M Gonna Make Myself Forget

You toyed with my affections! You played me for a fool! I wish, I could have sensed the truth, I wish, I'd "Gone to School"! I know I should have listened, to the warnings given me! But, I so believed you loved me, I was just too blind to see! I thought that you were happy. That's the way it seemed to me. But, you tried to change me, into someone, I did not want to be! My heart is not a plaything! I'm not a puppet on a string! It's a shame, the way you treated me! My love, could not have meant a thing! I'm not putty in your hands, my dear. I'm not made of molding clay. If you can't accept me as I am, then please, just go away! You never really loved me, but, that don't matter anymore! I'm not the fool I used to be, so, I'm walking out the door! I never really stood a chance! That's my main regret! I know this won't be easy, but, I'm gonna make myself forget! I know that I can do it! I know I have the knack! Once I put the past behind me, you can bet, that I'll be back!

I have had a few of those kinds of women in my life as well. Nice way to describe them.
