Someone Unlike You Poem by Katlynne Houston

When you hung up the phone last night I stopped to shed a tear
And thought how I'd do anything if I could only have you here
I thought about all the guys I thought I loved before
And how I thought when I was with them I never needed more
I sat down on my bed and fought the need to cry
As I thought about all of them and remember all their lies
How they said they they loved me and promised not to leave
I felt like an idiot because before I didn't see
They were just playing me they didn't really care
They just filled me up with all their lies I didn't have a prayer
And now I'm with you and I'm scared of getting hurt
So I'm keeping up my guard tearing it down will take some work
I'm hoping that you'll care enough to really work and try
And if you don't then its's okay I won't even cry
I'm not letting you close to me because I know that you'll just leave
But it'll be okay I'll let you go I'm happy being me
You can leave me here alone I'll find somebody new
Someone who really cares for me someone unlike you
