Boys like you
ruin girls like her
taking her feelings for granted
you forgot she was also human
the loyalty she had reserved for you-
you took advantage
although you weren't together
you had your arguments
like couple's do,
a million times you hurt her
but you kept up your tactics
of becoming her number one priority,
your ways of leading her on ongoing;
'look her in the eyes,
make sure your arm brushes hers,
get her heart racing'
a continues cycle going and going
she wasn't looking for love
but she found you,
a boy who's eyes held hers
like a delicate flower
and then you turned around and ripped
her petals apart so slowly.
You were the boy who's gaze mesmerized her
every second
and she fell in love with you anyway:
the first thought in her mind
the last thought before she slept,
you invaded her brain and heart
you became the centre of her life-
she smiled when you smiled
she cried when you cried
your absence to her was worse
than anything
but she held onto your stamped image in her mind
telling herself just one more day before her heart
could feel at ease.
and what did you do?
play your games, turn the tables
blame it on her.
Reputation to you was far more important
but then you became a completely changed person
when it was just you and her.
Assure her it's okay
and then act like it's not;
make her feel worse than she already does,
make her see her imperfections in the clear-
make her seem like she's not enough.
Your games never stopped
she didn't deserve it
a million times you hurt her
and then the day you snatched her heart
right from her chest
unweaving every thread
she had sewn together to gradually heal-
you pulled each apart
and she didn't understand;
your comforting words
your ignorance
your differing actions-
all she ever asked
was for you to be honest.
*******
although i did say 'boys like you', it can be 'girls like you' too because guys aren't the only ones who break hearts right
