Beautiful Mistakes and Moving On
You made me fall
You shot me down
I was standing tall
Now I'm on the ground
You took my heart
You changed it's shape
By the time I realized
It was far too late
You stole my heart
Like a thief in the night
You were pulling me into darkness
When I thought you were my light
You played with my emotions
You took my trust for granted
But now you've gone
And I'm left here stranded
My head built a caste
To guard my heart
Letting you in was a mistake
I should've seen from the start
You said I deserved to be loved
Said you'd always be with me
Then someone else came around
And you decided to ditch me
You reinforced my lack of trust
With your sly and cunning words
I couldn't see through your deception
I couldn't see I was getting hurt
Falling in love was a mistake
You shattered my world like ice
I took a risk on you
And now I'm paying the price
You were a landmine
I never saw it coming
One moment I'm fine
The next I'm exploding
You broke down my walls
The ones I've built up for years
You left, now I'm vunerable
One of my very worst fears
Why did I belive you
And all your beautiful lies?
Dressed like an angel
You were a demon in disguise
You promised you would fix me
Once you found out I was broken
I thought you were serious
But you were just jokin'

I wanted to write something about a past relationship, and honestly I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out. I didn't think. I didn't plan how to write this. I opened my journal and started writing and this is what I got. Because I was able to write all this down and get my feelings out I can now move on with my life and live it how I want to, and not stay caught up in the past. If you relate to this piece at all I hope it helps. Please enjoy!
