Like him, I wanted to believe I could do this--
keep going,
Be so sure of me;
so sure of us
But i wasn't his damsel in distress he'd have his way with,
and then kick to the curb
I knew in my soul that's what i was to him,
And that's what it would be
More than anything I wanted to believe he was different;
I knew better
I could not break my heart again trying to test that theory
