I am like the fish that you caught
You caught me, and tried to decide if I was worth it
I didn't pass the test
You threw me back, but
No matter what
I will
Never
Be the same as I was
When you first reeled me in

It's hard to keep swimming
When I feel so broken inside
I feel as if I can never be happy again
No matter what
no one
Will ever make me feel the same
Something will always be missing

But just like the fish
I have learned I need to guard myself
You have taught me a lesson
That will stay with me forever
If someone comes along
Just as you did
I will not
Let myself fall into the trap
Or get hooked by their
love
