The Girl Who Cried Wolf

Well, what can I say? Sh*t happens.

She turned her smile my way

and my guard softly softened

She spoke to my stupid heart

and my heart quickly opened

I so longed to touch her face

although I couldn't reach her

She said she loved me so

and I so wanted to keep her

But then she grew rather cold

and made true all that I feared

Because just as quick as she came

so quickly she disappeared

I struggled to stay afloat

I was neck deep in lies

I thought she was crying too

but there was no pain in her eyes

She went and cried wolf

with the love that she confessed

Then i opened my arms to her

but she kicked a hole in my chest

I blame no one but myself

It's so stupid it should be a crime

She cried wolf and I ran to save her

THREE F*CKING TIMES! 

"Three times is a charm" they say

Maybe this time I'll learn

And you know everybody has to cry

You'll just have to wait for your turn.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me three times, I should just jump off a f*cking bridge.

I see you've played the "Heart-Break Game" huh?

I simply love this poem. It's so relate-able and true. It seems like no matter how many times someone you have deep feelings for screws you over, you never truly leave their side until you get fed up.

This poem reminds me of someone i cared about deeply. I've fought hard for this person but things never seemed to go right.

In the end, it is what it is.

Anyway, this was a really great write. I really enjoyed this piece. Well done.
