Hey- where did all the good poets go? (divorced dad and roman77, esp)
Till they get back in here...I'll keep sharing what I write before I go to bed.

In my eyes
you were the only man
who understood how to love me right
you could conquer any challenges
you could always win the fight

You were honest, loyal,
brave and kind
soft and romantic too
Now my eyes are finally opening up
and I'm beginning to see it's not true

You promised me forever
but your forever wasn't very long
I believed you REALLY loved me
but I see now that I was wrong

When I said yes, my true love left
and you were in his place
Cold and distant, angry and mean
but all using my true love's face
I guess catching me
was all you really ever wanted to do
So now you set me free
and told me that we're through

In my eyes
you're a fool, heartless and lost
one day you'll grow up and look around
and see what your heartlessness' cost
