He Chose Another One

His heart I thought I could win

My heart he would want to reside in

I misled him with my weakness

How many of us also have?

What was tried, treasured, and learned for me

Was just casual and ordinary for him

A broken heart and emptiness in me

to forever not forget

A fleeting moment for him,

A stumbling block for his plans

For me, a chance to get to know him
A trap for sure, he thought it was

The most sacred of all feelings

Trashed as just fun and exchanged for convenience

Who/what to blame, though

None truly knew then...

Ignorance stands as winner

And as it laughs it rips our hearts

Only the hope that it'll all be well remains

How to forget what was and no longer is

Because he who was first mine

left and chose another one...
