Company we Keep

I was so young, so naïve
The world was my playhouse
I was happy, so content
Living each day for what tomorrow might bring
The hope sparkling eternal in my eyes
And then….
You touched me softly with caress
You told me politely you loved me you undressed me
With your eyes
And then…
You wrote me poems, promised me sweet nothings
While lying drunk in love under the shadow of our willow tree
We would dream and just be free
make love with pure intent.
You told me you loved me, time and time again….
But then
I told you I loved you
And you left me, lingering
You left me although you were always there
There were so many others you told the same thing
And now
I am broken, trying to fix what I didn’t break
Trying to put together piece, by piece
By piece
Allowing for no love as my heart has grew fearful
Sceptical of the world
When
You left me out in the cold, you ran from my tears
I am not lonely just afraid of the company to keep
Because the company we keep will earn us a reap
Whether good or bad, that we will become in the
Company we keep.
