Fool Me Once

you were being you and i knew

since day one that whatever ill do

to you, for you wont ever be enough

because that's who you are

you told me "oh i cannot love anyone

more than i love myself' and i chuckled

and thought to myself she will love me

for ill give her the love she deserves

and the world failed to give so.

but i forgot your ugly face and kept

painting it with my selfless love

you warned me alot, you told

me to go away, shut the door of your

heart in my face, held my hand and dragged

me out of your life, told me you don't need me

but i still stayed, you showed me

i'm not enough and i thought

ill change you, make you love me,

it wasn't you, who let me down

it is me, because you were

being you, the dark you, the ugly you.

People often tell us who they are

intentionally or just when they're

mad, laughing, crying or simply

when they're too vulnerable, they

show us who they really are, and we

who are blinded by love, who would

do anything for them just love them,

and think it's their hurt, lack of love

that made them this person because

that's what we were taught that love it

the cure for everything. Well, a person's true

colors are not a disease, you cannot

cure it. but still you tried, it's you

who gave them chances when they

didn't deserve a damn one of them

in the end
