Once quick to smile

The laughter fades

Being replaced

By renegades

--------------

Forgotten love

Dying joys,

Heart broken

Like old, used toys

-------------------

Words lost

In a muddled mind

Searching hard

But what to find?

-----------------

Pretenses gone

The truth is out

So suck it up

Don't sit and pout

-------------------

You did what's right

Although it hurts

That's what happens

To the one who flirts

---------------------

You learned your lesson

The way you do

You didn't listen

Or think it through

------------------

But now it's over

So back on your feet

Remember what happened

So it won't repeat

-------------------

What's done is done

You know that now

You'll find true love

Someday, somehow
