i once knew a boy

I once knew a boy,

you know the type

could fill me with joy 

with just the look of an eye

 

too bad he wasn't what the label said

my clickbait boyfriend

could sow lies like thread

 

he would say I was the sun

and I know  he meant adoration

but I knew it was done

 

 

once my own will let me kiss him

but it  was only a whim

 

I avoided his favourite subject

and that was sex

but I never wanted to reject

 

I started to edge away

"My reward" he would say

after the kisses had become forced

 

it was the control that he craved

but not what I gave

he became frustrated.

 

one day I told him how I felt

, let it all spill

afterwards, I thought I could melt

 

not for sadness, but joy

i had dumped the boy

and his stupidity

overlooked the break-ups validity

and he dumped me

on text for everyone to see

his lack of feeling on the fact

that he had "broken my heart"

showed me the truth

and let me have my youth.

 

 so I once I knew a boy

but now I am full of joy

and so  my poetry

came back with no hurry
