Seriously
That's how I took
Your flowery words.
I felt prettier
When you said
I was beautiful;
I felt well-mannered
When you said
I carried myself with respect.
Trust
Was what I decided
To give you.
But
Believing you
Was naive of me.
Next time I'm sure,
My heart won't
Open as easily
With mere flattery.
I'm sure,
I will search for
Forever
In your intentions,
I will look for
Sincerity
In your actions,
Love
In your heart
Before I give in.
Learned my lesson,
But prithee, listen.
Guys, please.
Don't
Make a heart flutter
With words so lovely
When they're meant
To just be words.
Don't
Show partiality
To any lady when
More than one
Is precious to you.
Don't
Ever say you love someone
When that love
Is for just anyone and everyone.
Guys, please.
Make it real,
Or just go away.
