He looked you in the eyes and he told you so many lovely things
He held you close and he told you jokes
He smiled bright, and he hugged you tight
He whispered the “L-word” in your ear plenty of times
Always using it between one of his clever lines
So many beautiful lines

He told you he loved you
He said he’d never leave you
He was a liar
But you were his believer
He said you were the one
A girl unlike anyone
He was a tool
But you were his fool

So it ended and you cried
And cried and cried
He destroyed your trust
Because he wanted lust
He shattered your heart
Now all you can do is fall apart

You hate him because of the stupid tears
You dry them because you know it's futile
When you thought he vanquished all your fears
Nobody ever warned you, love is brutal

He told you he loved you
He said he’d never leave you
He was a liar
But you were his believer
He said you were the one
A girl unlike anyone
He was a tool
But you were his fool

I wrote this poem for all of the broken-hearted girls who gave up their innocence a little too fast to a guy who claimed to love them.
