Memories

I don't mix with Barons , Princes or Earls I don't desire diamonds, Rubies or pearls I envy no one be they poor or rich but tell me you love me and I am bewitched. Those are not words that should be used to deceive For when you are lonely, You want to believe You long to hear someone utter those words So casually uttered but so truthfully heard. So often you told me, So often you lied Bitter revelation and a part of me died My heart was broken , Broken in two My mind was tormented with memories of you. So pleased I learned the hard lessons of youth Protected myself by speaking the truth Soon I grew stronger because I knew I must I know there is someone out there in whom I can trust. I regret nothing because my love was true I have wonderful memories of things we would do but one twisted thought just won't leave my head So I delight in telling you , You were rubbish in bed.
