Playing with a girls heart,
Is like playing with fire,
The flame will leave your control,
Never know what will happen,
You push it too far,
And it will burn,
Into ash
I just hope you've learned,
I'm not that girl you met,
Way back when,
I'm a new and improved,
Moving on,
Carefree,
And spirit founded girl,
That will give her heart in a heartbeat.
But playing with a girls heart,
Is just like Playing with fire,
Never know where you'll end.

The author's comments:
This poem came with loss of good friend too. He meant a lot to be, but he just played with my heart. Until I decided I was done. I finally yelled at him, "Playing with a girl's heart is like playing with fire, idiot!" I then walked way mad and upset. But I ended up with a poem. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

I have to say I did enjoy reading it as much as you enjoyed writing it Zaylie! And this poem is so true! I love the way you worded this and how you said "But playing with a girls heart, Is just like playing with fire." Great Job!:)
