A Short Poem

You justify the scars you bare and tell yourself life is fair but it’s your lover who twists the knife

You put them first, which makes you last

You exchange your heart for a laugh

Lovers come and go

Leaving pieces of themselves stuck in your soul

Everyone says forever yet few ever stay together

You hope to meet someone who actually means it

Whose every goodbye has a hello on the horizon

You say you always take the road less traveled

But if you don’t know where you’re going

……Any road will do…..
