Jod!E Quintero Poet I do not know?

Stupid Girl

My mind said its ok 
I let you in and of course you went away
Of course 
A girl so stupid
Again
Listening to the words
That were promised in vain
But I wanted to believe
But I knew you would leave
So why am I so surprised
Even when I close my eyes
You’re still gone
Feeling so stupid again
Why oh why did I let you in
Maybe I needed something
That he couldn’t give
Maybe I needed something
Or a different life to live
But here I am still in limbo
And hating myself 
And trying to let you go
Trying to let my mind 
Go back and rewind
To where I was before 
Alone and lonely 
Safe and sound
Just walking around
And knowing my 
Soul may never be found
