Wishing for YouA Poem by Haley Lynn ThomasTreasure your friendships.I know how it feels to be abandoned I know how it feels to be traded away I swore I’d never do that to another But I guess I forgot that promise
I chose her over you I turned my back on what we had I left you without even a goodbye Because she was new and enticing
I wanted a taste of the fruit Once I had one I was hooked But you and I had something solid And she and I lived on shaky ground
When it all came tumbling down I found myself wishing for you I found myself regretting my choice Wishing I’d resisted the serpent’s temptation
I tossed you carelessly aside It came back to me like a boomerang You know they say karma’s a b***h Well I learned that the hard way
I plunged my sword through your heart She twisted the knife in my back Your friendship was tried and true She and I weren’t made to last
How could I have done that to you? In the end we both lose How can I hate her for what she did to me? When I did the same to you
I had a taste of the juiciest fruit Then I watched as it rotted And in the back of my mind all I could think Was how I never said I'm sorry to you © 2014 Haley Lynn Thomas |
