Fable

Our story was never something

I could share with the whole world;

It was short, not a novel

And full of twists and turns.

Now he loves me-

Now he don’t.

Now he’ll have me-

Now he won’t.

To you I’m just a sad song

To me you’re a lesson I’ll never learn.

Unkept affection, never mine;

Never fully earned.

Deep in my mind you’ll grow

Into something of a rot.

I’m sure I’ll never recover,

Forever in my thoughts.

To you I’m just a mishap

That never should’ve occurred;

Just a part of growth

Of growing up, you’ve heard.
