Happy Birthday

Left alone, at the mall.
Sitting on the bench.
Shivering in the cold night.
Nearly in tears.
An hour and a half to wait.

Tonight is October 16th.
Tonight is my Birthday.
I am now 17 years old.
I didn't plan my birthday like this.
Cold, and alone.

Why did I believe him?
He lied to me before, still I went.
Tears start to run down my face.

Once again....
I been used, and lied to.
Ditched.. by the one I love.

Happy 17th Birthday....
