Once Bitten Twice Shy

You said something
During our final goodbye
It made me think –
Made me understand why

Why we would always fly
But never land
Why you’d break each promise
Now I understand

See, loyalty
It isn’t your thing
And commitment?
It burns you and stings

And the words you said
Made my eyes open up
You spoke the truth
And called your own bluff

And the words you said
Showed me the truth
The man I knew –
He wasn’t you

The truth you spoke
Should have broken my heart
But I already knew
And I already broke

I see you for you –
The real man, the real guy
Now I understand
Once bitten, twice shy.

Dirty Little Secret

Three steps to a successful, fulfilling life:

  1. Decide what you deserve and realize you deserve it
  2. Be willing to sacrifice what you want in the now to have what you need for the future
  3. Never. Look. Back.

Why settle for mediocre when you deserve something great? You are the biggest hurdle in your own life. Leap ahead, set goals and understand your boundaries – never, ever settle. Life is too incredibly short.

Delusional

She realized
You let her go
More than you held her

She realized
You had sex
More than you ever made love

She realized
You were gone
Before you even got there

She realized
What isn’t here
Never really was.

Bliss

For the first time
In the longest time
I found myself crying

Not because of loneliness,
Emptiness
Or a sadness inside me

I cried for relief
I cried in peace
Because of the joy in my life

I cried because for the first time
In the longest time
Everything was right

And for the first time
In the longest time
I found myself crying

Because I’m complete,
Purely happy –
And I don’t need a man
Beside me.

Drive-Bye’s

I bet you’ve driven by
With her on the passenger side
And you didn’t see my lights
I wasn’t home those nights

I bet you call her my name
You’re the only one to blame
For the loss and the pain
I hope it drives you insane

I bet you’ll wish you had
When she picks you last
Love’s funny like that
Leaving you in the past

And I bet you’ll drive by
On your way home tonight
And it will eat you alive
Knowing I’m right.
