Teenage Love Story

Another teenage love story,
It's already come to pass.

That sweet smile, and smooth way of talking.
Those charming acts of kindness, and the words I Love You.

Falling for it, my mistake.
Becoming addicted, that was mine too.

Fifteen months, such a short time.
To build then break everything we had.

Promises of forever,
And never will I hurt you.

Broken, Shattered, Frayed.
Over and Over.

Three chances,
A plea for you to change.

Not one single effort,
Until it was too late.

You sitting on your bed,
Begging for me to stay.

A compromise, just stay friends,
Maybe it'll work out, together again one day.

A bad move on my part.
Cause it only got worse.

Yelling, Screaming, Cursing, Hurting;
The fights, they never ended.

Long nights spent crying myself to sleep.
A pain that should have ended, over four months ago.

Now, forcing myself to give you up.
Like a coke addicted, weaning his way off his biggest necessity.

I shouldn't be that girl,
With crushed fantasies of happy ever after.

I know those stories don't really happen,
But you got to me, made me believe for that fragment of time.

And I never should have let you.
