The look of love turned to hate
Repulsed by his smile
She cheated and got cheated on
He got played and lost
Eventually moved on
Doing better than expected
They couldn't stand one another
Not able to be in the same room
Departed on bad terms
Never talked it out made it right
Grew apart no remorse
Different people not meant to be

She called him perfect
He was far from it
She wanted him to change
Being himself was all he knew
She was an only child got her way
He was the oldest of six
He knew about sacrifice
She tried to change him
But it was never enough
When she didn't get her way
She made life tough and hard
Quick to play victim playing games
He ended it she said NO
He stayed with her
Till she decided to end it

Never understood
How some have it all still miserable
Ruin a good thing definitely blessed
Quick to point out others flaws
Notice everyone's mistakes
Never looking at themselves
They are just as bad or worse off
Always been thankful working for it
Didn't have much growing up grateful
Don't care for drama focused on work
Why be in a relationship just to cheat
If you can't stay loyal stay single
Friends talking bad your hyping them
Use to have a crew prefer to roll solo
Dating again looking for serious
Old relationship is not the standard
Fear of making the same mistakes

Toxic charm intoxicating
Blinded by beauty
Lost love manipulation
Playing with the heart
So much love
Had to stay away
An addiction hard to quit
Once it's out of the system
Recovery to figure it out

An old life forgotten
Living in the moment
At the beach an escape
Taking in the scene
Favorite place to be
Warm sand in the toes
Walking into the water
Standing at knee level
The waves building up
Some hide others low
Forgetting about work
Wanting to start over
Some where new
A fresh start pondering life

Time alone to write
Clears the mind
Day or night
After a writing session
Things are better
feelings change to alright
Another pen dries out
Time to switch it up
Start a new notebook
To finish is the goal
A cycle of improvement
Lots of personal growth

Made out to be the cheater
She's the one creeping
Trying to flip the script
Always told the truth
While she spread lies
Called her out on them
She's mad making a scene
New people to manipulate
Never cared what others thought
Emotionless like a robot
Doing what's right no debate
All this hate not losing faith
Never dictate others fate
Walked away not talking
All this talk not listening anymore

Should be a sleep
Too hot to do so
Listening to music
Singing off key out loud
To all my favorites song
One playlist with memories
Laying in bed restless
Writing down ideas from within
Coming up with something deep
Empowering lyrics to share
Thoughts to motivate others
Stories to tell from the heart
Moments locked in the mind

Scrapping for ideas
Feelings changed over time
Yearning for the past
Been living in the moment
No more cheap thrills
Pursuing something real
Tired of waiting life on hold
Growing old white hairs showing
Can't keep doing the same old thing
Compromised did favors
Stayed loyal did right
Got pushed out tried like a stranger
Expecting more stuck with less
Onto the next chapter making progress
