How Was I to Know?
Somewhere on a darkened street
You'll find me brooding over my defeat
I trusted you and you kicked me away
How was I to know you were going to betray?
All the feelings I had for you are now gone
I told you exactly how I felt and you led me on
The path of honesty I chose; you chose deceit
How was I to know my mistake I'd repeat?
I've known a long time, but never could I conceive
That you could do so much damage and simply leave
Even after I told you, you showed no regret
How was I to know you'd make me so upset?
You're dissention caused me to cut with my knife
But enough of this shit; I must move on with my life
There is another now, but I feel like I'm falling apart
How was I to know you'd still have a piece of my heart?
I like this poem, but it reminds me too much of my own personal experiences with my ex. I'm hoping he wasn't thinking the same thing as this when we broke up. Either way you are still a great writer, and your feelings come through in your writing.
