Cheating, The Signs

We were just friends at first;

I never planned to fall for her;

You were always my one and only girl;

I was just returning her ways of flirt;

 

She gave me the attention you never did;

She always answers my calls;

The calls you chose to ignore;

Where you left holes she filled the gap;

 

I’m not making excuses, i’m only stating facts

I was wrong I understand that;

But I’m just a man, I was giving you love but you never loved me back;

Everytime I tried to make time;

 

You were always too busy, all those excuses you made;

Eventually the love we had started to fade;

I know I should have told you, but you didn’t want to hear what I had to say;

I’m not the cheating type, I’ve never been that way;

 

We never did anything yet before your imagination runs away;

The empty space you left inside me she replaced;

I’m sorry if I hurt you, it was an unintentional mistake;

I see the tears running down the side of your face;

 

But girl you neglected me every other day;

Love can’t grow if it’s left up to one;

It takes two to make any bond;

I couldn’t keep it alive on my own;

 

We can try again, everyone makes mistakes when they are in love;

You reply and that your tears are not my fault;

Confused, “How do you mean?” I ask;

You reply “I was cheating all along”;

 

My heart instantly tore apart;

You say you wanted to tell me but you just didn’t have the heart;

You were hoping I’d read the signs;

Thinking back, I knew, but my love for you had made me blind;

 

I should have listened to my instincts, they have always been right;

So as you turn and walk away, I promise myself next time to end it when I see these same signs.
