My Heart I Gave Once

once I gave my heart mesmerized by the start his eyes so sapphire blue I was not ready for this my thoughts went blank literally speechless had I known the tears I would be left with I do not believe I would have let love in this Man , he knew he captivated women Always me going for what I can not have then in return it is given , leaving me confused the one I was seeking for sure would never commit Commit he did , even in front of a Rabbi saying only once, 1 time will I. with all conviction I believed his lie I remember the Fall day he left without words spoken the leaves were dancing through the wind as if they were trying to tell me something the rain cried tears for me that night I took his sword collection down from the wall thinking in true love I will never find again to die a graceful poetic death with his sword I awoke with a hangover the next day my heart broken my heart ignored
