gullible abigail

Gullible Abigail sat on a wall
Ignored the warnings, decided to fall.
Fall in love?  Only in a fool's paradise,
You gamble,you lose, why even roll the dice?
Just like Olivia, lost and turned out,
Abby never understood what the game was about.
Lost her sense of worth, lost her pride,
Too much humiliation, and nowhere to hide.

Pointing fingers said, "I told you so."
He made her cry, then said to her, "just go."
Hasta la vista baby, I'm tired of you,
Say what you want, our time together is through.
You've served your purpose, don't need you anymore,
I've found someone else to temporarily adore.

They locked her away in a place for the insane,
She went home and waited, but he never came.
Time passed by, minutes, hours, days and weeks,
Abigail will never find the answers she seeks.
Why him, why me, why this that and the other?
What crime am I being punished for, why'd he choose another?

If the "know-it-alls" are right, he never loved her anyway,
But who's to say if they know anything at the end of the day.
Some good days, some bad days, sometimes acting, sometimes for real,
Most times just struggling to hide how she really feels.
It's frightening, so scary, this life's journey we must take,
Always reaping the consequences for the mistakes that we make.

Now Abby's like Langston's broken-winged bird, her dreams cannot fly,
Like the lyrics from a Prince song, "this is what it sounds like when doves cry."
A gentle kindhearted spirit, lost in a wilderness,
Her heart in so many pieces, yet still hoping for happiness.
But maybe, like Humpty, all the king's horses and all the king's men,
Can never put Abigail's heart back together again.
