The girl sits in the dark
As she cries tears of loss
Abandonment, desertion.

Words filled with promises and hope,
Deception is the enemy.

So naive,
Too innocent to have known,
Boys do lie.

Her cries and screams cannot be heard.
Her jubilant and playful spirit, no longer exists.
Replaced, instead, a broken heart and shattered dreams.

No sleep tonight,
The one who broke her heart, occupies her mind.
The promises he spoke, haunts her now.

They were lies,
Broken truths, made to deceive.
Too naive, she should've known.

Warned by many.
Her stubbornness to believe
Is the result of the pain she now felt.

Boys lie,
Promises are meant to be broken, not kept.
Now she knows.

Too naive,
Much too innocent.

Perhaps, a man can sweep her off her feet,
And prove,
Not all promises are meant to be broken, but kept
Not all men will lie,
Not all men will break her fragile heart.
