A grand chance to share what I know
from the reasons that I smile
I hoped my truthful words would show
the grace and heart of my style.
Nice guys finish last but I hoped
to rise above and prove this wrong.
But this just showed how well you coped,
that you weren't nearly as strong.
Blinded by warped love gone astray,
you gave in to his practiced pleas,
tossed your feelings for me away,
and confided in how he cleaves.
If he were truthful in his words
he wouldn't have hurt you so much
since the first split span you backwards,
and sealed your cries without a touch.
You'll forget my pain soon enough,
until he pushes you again.
and then you will see just how tough
it is for you to guide my pen.
When you come back I'll have no choice
but to dismiss you no colder
than you did me when you rejoiced
his flame for you that smolders.

But as love's blind, it blinds as well;
you followed your heart like I do.
You'll emerge from that broken shell,
And for that I will forgive you.
