A Lesson In Love Poem by Matthew Densley

I learned of love the hardest way
The experience I take
I wouldn't have risked it if i knew
That on me you would flake
I played your game and spun the wheel
My heart it was the stake
And even though I knew you'd cheat
In love I did partake

I gazed into your eyes one night
Sunset down by the lake
That kiss you gave me boiled my blood
And made my insides bake
My heart was pounding, knees went weak
My body it did shake
Asleep at night I dreamt of you
Until I was awake

I thought I found the kind of love
That Cupid couldn't make
My heart it may belong to you
But it isn't yours to break
Lie to me and say we're fine
Just for my conscience sake
To you I gave a love so true
For that was my mistake

I thought you loved me, then you left
And left me with heartache
To look back now upon our love
It now all seems so fake
You deceived me once to often, girl
To me, you're just a snake
A fool I was to be with you
This love I must forsake
