Probably Wouldn'T Last Poem by Ray Hansell

My head told me to leave
But my heart said stay
I did not believe
That I’d see a better day

I wasn’t thinking clearly
All I wanted to do was leave
I use to love her dearly
Her eyes pulled at my sleeve

I gave her one last glance
We weren’t worth another try
I was not willing to take the chance
To have her once again make me cry

I guess it’s true what people say
That all good things come to an end
But I’ll be damned if I’ll live another day
Being betrayed by someone I thought was a friend

Sometimes it easier to walk away
Then to try to fix the past
Knowing that if we tried to stay
It probably wouldn’t last
