A tale of deception, a burden to share.
I used their feelings, like a puppeteer's dance,
To hide my own pain, and seek a false chance.
I feigned affection, played the part of a lover,
But my heart was elsewhere, seeking solace to recover.
In the embrace of others, I sought refuge and distraction,
To numb the ache of losing, my heart's painful extraction.
I strung them along, with sweet words and false charms,
Unaware of the damage, of the wounds in their arms.
Blinded by my own sorrow, I failed to see,
The hearts I was breaking, the pain I caused, carelessly.
But time has a way of opening our eyes,
To the consequences of our actions, the truth it belies.
I've learned my lesson, in the harshest of ways,
That using others' emotions, is a debt that one pays.
Regret now consumes me, for the hurt that I caused,
To those who deserved better, to hearts that were paused.
I've come to realize, the importance of honesty,
And the weight of sincerity, in matters of love's decree.
Though I cannot undo the pain I have caused,
I vow to change my ways, to make amends, no matter the cost.
To honor the lessons learned, and grow from the past,
To be a better person, with integrity that will last.
For love cannot be forged, nor emotions be feigned,
It's a sacred connection, to be cherished, sustained.
I've learned the value of authenticity and trust,
To love with genuine intent, is a lesson I must.
So I stand here humbled, with a heart that's been tested,
Ready to heal, to grow, to be truly invested.
May forgiveness find me, as I seek redemption's embrace,
And may I learn from my mistakes, with love as my saving grace.
