The Lesson
She smiles as she walks away
she chose the perfect things to say.
Happy,jumpy, satisfied
she'd just avenged the nights she'd cried.
She said the words that ruined your day
muttering fate as she walked away
she tried to warn you before it was to late
that you would lose something very great
I overheard her talk to you
her words meant only to inflict guilt on you.
"How did it make you feel" said she,
"To cause me pain and misery?"
"Now I'll be gone and set you free,
I hope you've learned something from me."
As I watched this whole scenario
I learned some things one ought to know...
Learn from your mistakes so you never make them
Think about your promises before you break them
Dont ever wait until its to late
For if you do, you will lose something great.
