Reject

Falling in love
is not something I readily do
but like falling into bed
I fell in love with you
believing you to be true,
believing you were a safe bet.
I guess there are some lessons
I haven't learned yet.

How could I have known
how much I would regret?
These memories of you so painful,
I never can forget.

As I bowed my head to your naked breasts,
your sighs of pleasure to my ears a song,
I thought I'd found the happiness
for which I'd yearned so long;
the beginning of something special,
something magical, something strong.
I thought what we shared could last forever.
I was a fool. I was wrong.
You just used me to fill a gap
until someone else came along.

I only have to close my eyes
to visualise again
the way you wrapped yourself around
the man I called my friend.

I gave you all I had,
gave you my very soul
only to be swallowed whole.
Nothing ever can replace
the heart of me you stole.

My tears made bitter by what might have been,
my mind torturing itself,
here I sit now: a reject, broken,
discarded on this dusty shelf
the ghosts of your kisses
turning sour in my mouth.
