The Things I Leave Unsaid

6. Watch Out for the Thorns

Regretting it, wanting so bad to go back

Forgetting it, trying, but memories attack

When I least expect it

I can't accept it,

I fight but each time, the feelings come back

And keep me hanging on.

But his touch was so tender,

His words I remember,

'You'll have to pay up one day.'

But I ignored my head and gave him my heart

And as promised

He laughed and tore it apart.

I danced with the devil

One too many times

and the fault, I know, is all mine.

So I'll enjoy the now and

Ignore what's to come.

I know that it's stupid.

I know that I'm dumb.

But addicted am I

to his touch and his smile.

And yes, I know he'll

be gone in a while.

It hurts to think I was just a fad

To him and that

He doesn't feel bad.

But I knew from the beginning.

I was forewarned.

Roses are pretty,

But watch out for the thorns.
