Deserve Better
by Jean Roy

Lets face the facts
and clear away these doubts
that trying this the second time around
isn't going to end up how we both had once planned out

so i stand in front of this mirror
reading lines that I'm trying to rehearse
thinking how easily i can put this
trying not to think about how much this is going to hurt

i begin to read:
pa, hurting you is not my intention
but my heart is pulling me away from you
in the opposite direction

i thought that if
i believed the "i love you's" when i said it
i could develop feelings again for you
but my heart saw passed the lies i fed it

when our lips joined
my kisses remained dead
without affection
my smiles were masked on to keep you misled

trying to convince myself
was the wrong thing to do
because in the end not only did i hurt myself
but i ended up hurting you too

i just wish
there was a way i could explain
why my love for you
has drastically changed

as i sadly conclude
re reading this letter
i hope you realize
you deserve someone so much better.
