Don't You Know

Why

do you let her love you?

Don't you know

she's only playing you?

She's got a finger caught

in the collar of someone else

and her lips pressed to yours,

and a line of boys

just waiting for her,

because

she's playing you.

I could say

I'm better for you,

I can love you more than her.

But if you're too blind

to see who she is,

you're to blind

to see who I am.

You're too blind

to think for yourself

and that, boy,

will be your heartbreak.

Maybe one day you'll see

and realize your mistake

but for now,

Why

do you let her love you?

Don't you know

she's only playing you?

I've had similar thoughts before. Love is so complicated and tricky, it's never easy to tell when it's the real thing and when it isn't. Unfortunately, few are able to find it without some heartbreaks along the way.
Still, it's better to have feelings that can be hurt, since that (usually) indicates you're a human being. :)

this seems very truthful
you write well

it seems like this all time since been in America
but in Somalia, there is less freedom to take such friendships for granted

[Amanda Worthington]

Thank you :) I do realize here in America we have more freedom than other places in the world, but I don't think many other americans realize that.
