"That" Guy

I met him on an autumn night,

leaves of brown that dropped from height.

We walked for hours until day,

he wanted more, but what could I say?

 

I needed him more than he needed me,

the autumn was nearly over and I didn’t feel free.

I left it for a while for trust to be gained,

I felt over powered with being detained.

 

All I ever wanted was to be loved,

I was at the back of the line, I had been shoved.

He had no respect or the courage to be caring,

He was out of his mind, reckless and daring.

 

I tried to help for us to get back on track

He only ever wanted to be on the smack.

This was never how I dreamed it to be,

I regret every minute of that walk by the sea.

 

I now walk with my head held high,

as I was stronger when I left that Guy.
