Yaya King Poet Rhyme

Turn By Turn

First loves seldom last into the future 
I advice you shouldn't cling on to that picture 
Before everything goes south, 
And your heart ends up with a fracture

I'm speaking from experience, 
I could give you a whole lecture 
Because I got knocked out, after getting bent over 
I'm still trying to straighten up and fix my posture 
I still go to bed with a weight on my chest,
I'm surprised my heart hasn't popped from all that pressure

I should've never held on to that picture, 
I should've just focused on my tenure
I was warned, but I never listened, 
Now I can relate perfectly to 'Prevention's better than Cure'

First loves seldom last
Enjoy the moment now, 
Because it will soon become the past 
And when it does, 
I hope your heart doesn't end up with a cast 
Because I know mine did, 
And the pain still hasn't passed

Honestly, I have no idea how I manage
I should be out cold from this amount of emotional damage 
I still find it hard to process how love can be an angel one second, 
Then the next, a savage
I still think about the future we could've had together,
Damn, I need to get rid of that image
I should ditch that idea of marriage 
The love we had for each other was pregnant with a beautiful future, 
But a lot of  happened and it had a miscarriage

I didn't know the first thing about heartbreak
And now, my best friend's heartache 
This is because of one costly mistake:
I did too much and I myself was too much;
Something she couldn't take 
I had an overdose of love, 
I should've cut back on my intake 
I feel my last was an exam, 
I failed it woefully, with no chance to retake
 
I had my turn
It came to an end,
And now my heart's got a burn
