A poem about learning a hard lesson in love.
Indeed, I saw this coming
I knew that you would fail
Though you often said you can't hurt steel
I knew your weakness would prevail
I knew the starlight in your eyes
Would fade to leaden grey
And the hopes we had and the plans we made
Yes I knew they, too, would fade away
And all those nights you told me that
Your all was just for me
I sensed your deception but
Like a fool, I made believe
My heart craved reciprocity
My body craved your touch
Yes indeed, I saw this coming
So how can it hurt so much?
