She Didnt Want To Fall This Hard Poem by Desiree Whitamore

'loves overrated. why even play? '
'i'm not sure i know what you mean.'
'id hate to fall and lose the game'
'then why'd you say you loved me? '

she couldnt quite face that question
couldn't think of any way to explain
couldn't even begin to describe
how much her mind had changed.

and she knew she was a gone-r
before he ever saw her fears
she knew how she sounded
lying through her tears.

and she must've looked rediculous
when he called her 'the one'
because before she even heard it
her head was forcing her to run

but he was forceful and made her stay
he made her face the truth
'i've just never felt what i feel now'
'baby, i would never hurt you.'

but where had she heard those words?
who from and where?
oh thats right, the last one shed trusted
he told her he'd always care.

'you know i'm not him.'
'i know who you are'
'i love you forever.'
'i didnt want to fall this hard.'
