I gave you the key to injure me,
And if you use it, what can I think?
But that, of course,....I gave you the key!
And what of my heart that beat for you?
I did acknowledge it could be fooled,
And that my dashed dreams I well could rue.
And all the hours I wasted on us?
Well, for the moment, it was such fun....
I will learn not to miss you so much.
For the great fool that it made of me?
I did not enter UNwittingly....
What can I say, chagrined though I be?
You taught me more about being in love,
Which makes me now miss what almost was,
....Perhaps that drawback's the greatest one.
If I disallow possibility,
Harden my heart so you can't hurt me,
I'll get nowhere, and have not a thing.
