Never Say

This poem is about a person who has lost a love she never even had.

Never say…

Never say ‘I love you’
If you will hurt me in the end
If you say you love me
Mean it, don’t pretend

I never want to hear those words
Coming from the mouth
Of any man who comes my way;
Just stop! Go spit them out!

Your perfect words made the perfect plan
They meant so little to you
Well, your perfect decoy lured me in
You knew I’d always be true

I know you see things differently
But my heart was on the line
How foolish could I be?
Thinking you’d always be mine

You never felt it in your heart
Now I see it all
On center stage; I got the part!
Playing your dirty moll

I love you

Those words; those beautiful lasting words…
Forever will stain my poor, used lips;
Your distorted echo; now a useless phrase
