I Thought About You Today
A Poem
By Deneale K Williams
I didn't mean to though....
I wish there was a way to say:
Or some way to let you know.
But I know you don't want found--
You chose to leave me behind...
I wish we could turn this around;
Instead I'm writing this dumb rhyme.
I'm just so soft when it comes to friends;
I will give away my heart every time---
And then it takes forever when it mends;
And I get stuck with the dime.
I'm sorry for catching you in a lie,
I guess I did overreact like a fool!
I should've ask why--
When I could've been more cool.
You see, I've been hurt before--
And I don't understand why....
Rather than tell me more....
You just kept feeding me lies!
I thought about you today....
I remembered what you were like,
All the lies you told to make me sway;
Truly that's not what friends are like.
Next time I think of you--
I'll remember what you put me through.
