Poetry Is My Diary

You Fooled Me

I got tired of living in the cold depths of what seemed to be your heart
When you looked close enough to not being able to have one
So I set myself free within the night
Let out some tears from gentle cries
And listened to the music that allowed me to put my soul to sleep.
Hoping that I'd know when it was time to stop keeping my feelings discrete
Because I wanted someone who could spend time with me as a loving figure
And I stayed after you delayed my hopes
You see
I wasn't the one who agreed to the deal
And continued on
You see
I wasn't the one who brought up the problem
And made myself remember
I didn't want to remember and just simply forget and move past
Because it's too much to think of or picture in my mind
Of you as her winning trophy, but with me as a runner-up
I couldn't handle the loneliness and neglect that I suffered from.
Because I set my standards too high for someone like you
And yes
You fooled me, you fooled me, you fooled me
But instead of wasting time, waiting for you to apologize
I'll apologize to myself for putting myself in such a
Horrible
Distant
Relationship with you.
I was better by myself,
And at least I couldn't let myself down.
