Once, Twice, Three times

The first time
You broke my heart
It tore me apart.
Pieces and pieces fall to the ground
as I remember what you said
"I think we should break up."

And then later
you glued my heart
back together.

The second time you hurt me
Was a time of depression.
I felt alone and hated.
My life was falling apart.
Both my love life and my home life.

Then, you told me you loved me.
"I've been hiding my feelings. I love you."
That was what I needed to get me through it all.
Thank you.

The third time you broke my heart
was the time I let out a long stream of curses.
And the time I thought,
"I hate you."
But I don't.
I love you.

Even as you go around, telling other girls you love them
you will always have my heart
even if you don't want it.

Please remember that...
I love you.
I'll never hate you.
My heart belongs to you.
Your name is written all over my heart.
I will always welcome you back as my lover.
And,
each time you come back to me
I will say, "I love you, too."
And prepare for another strike...

Of the hurt I know will come.
