Love is One Thing I Will Do Better in My Next Life


Love is One Thing I Will Do Better in My Next Life
- January 20, 2018
I knew you cannot be trusted
Yet I did anyway

I knew you are a player
I still gave you my heart

I knew you are skilled in lies
But I choose to believe all you ever said

All of me I placed at your mercy
I threw my love in your arms with abandon

I knew everything about you is false
And even your smiles concealed the evil you are capable of

But one thing I don't know about you
Is that you are lost beyond redemption

Love is one thing I will to do better in my next life
For nothing can mend a heart already broken
