The Last To Know

Calls to you were always ignored;

Tears rolling down my cheek hit the floor;

If I gave my all;

Why did you stand and watch me fall;

 

Gave you the best of me;

But you were never pleased;

Ever ready to up and leave;

I even put you above my family;

 

Treated you like a queen from the start;

But you never let me near your heart;

Never let down your gaurd;

Made everyday with you so hard;

 

Never really understood;

Why I was never good;

Kisses were always cold;

Always felt forced when your hand I tried to hold;

 

Avoided me around your freinds and fam;

Pretended like I was never your man;

Wondering why, could never understand;

If you loved me why was I left feeling abandoned;

 

Your smile always confused;

Never showing the real you;

Made me believe you felt the way I do;

After a while I discovered out the truth;

 

You never loved me, I was bieng used;

You were in love with someone new;

I was raised right so I stayed true;

Pretended to be blind so I never hurt you;

 

But what hurt the most;

Everyone knew that you kept close;

I was the fool;

Yeah I was the last one to know…..
