So Many In Vain, Reasonless Relationships (Song) Poem by Britney Hogue

This was all such vanity,
Without the slightest purpose,
Without a half decent reason.
Like so many others seen today,
Our relationship was a lie.

It took me quite some years,
But I saw right through you,
And all the damaging fibs
You plagued me with throughout.
This, before you stole my innocents.

I was one of the smart,
Or was I one of the strong.
One who wasn’t afraid of you,
Or one that was too stubborn
To live with your unfaithfulness.

So many relationships like ours.
Where she is dealt this affair,
But most are not strong like I.
To leave you in your own despair,
And go about my own peaceful life.

I was one of the smart,
Or was I one of the strong?
One who wasn’t afraid of you,
Or one that was too stubborn
To live with your unfaithfulness.
