The Girl I Loved

The girl I loved, my heart did seek, But her secrets, I could not peek. She wore a mask, her truth concealed, And my love for her, was quickly peeled. Her words, so false, yet sweet and kind, Made me a fool, so blind and blind. My heart was broken, my trust betrayed, For her love, I had been swayed. I know she's a cheat, another man she'd greet, My heart crushed, as I watched, defeated. Yet still I hoped, one day she'd turn, And love for me, her heart would yearn. She begged for his love, with tears in her eyes, My soul broke, as I tried to realize. I told myself, she'd change one day, And our love, no longer betray. But deep within, I knew 'twas true, She'd never love me, as I love her, so true. Yet I hold on, to this foolish, As the long pain began to nourish. The pain inside, I could not hide, My emotions, I could not confide. A lesson learned, from this false love, To guard my heart, with a glove.
