Not You
Please don't

break my heart,

not you.

I've been a soldier

like I promised to do.

I am alone,

and that's not good

I don't love myself

as much as I should

How can you

turn your back on me?

And continue pretending

not to see

I fell in love with you

so deeply although

You warned me not to…

I know!

Its always the same,

I pretend I don't care,

This game drives me crazy,

you aren't playing fair

Why don't you say

what you feel in your heart

That you'll never

love me back

right from the start

Instead you allow

me to feel like a fool

I guess

I am delusional

thinking we share

something cool.

Instead

you look at me

with that face,

You spit your game

It's nothing new.

I'm used to it you're

all the same.
