Never Again

You came to me.
Changed my life.
Put a smile on my face,
Love in my heart.
But somehow, someway-
You changed on me.
I couldn't smile anymore.
The love was torn out of my heart.
You left me,
You left tears in my eyes.
Pain and confusion -
Anger and doubt.
I don't know why you did it- 
I don't know why you left.
But you did, you left me.
You left an eternal brand 
On my heart, in my life.
You left memories in my mind. 
You gave me something --
And than took it away.
Why????
You simply cannot do that
To the ones you love.
I loved you.
I cared about you.
I worried for you.
I would have done anything.
I stayed and I prayed-- 
And hoped and dreamed. 
I'd wish that you'd someday 
Come back to me.
I forgave you-
I still wanted you.
I cried for days and nights,
Thinking about you.
I gave you all I could,
And what you gave back--
Hurt.
It drew pain upon my heart,
Fear in my life.
Tears in my eyes.
Hopeless dreams.
Untrue wishes.
Why did I care soo much?
Why did you have to 
Come into my life?
You've caused soo much 
Agony and distress-- 
I wish you had never 
Come to me.
And I never want you 
Back again.
