A teenage love
When I was young
I dated you
It was for fun
I was seventeen
Working too
You was fourteen
I didn’t know what to do
Friends can be cruel
And they got to me
Their taunts echoed
And we wasn’t to be
I split us up
I broke your heart
For those other people
It made them laugh
I regretted much
Of what I had done
You didn’t deserve
What had become
Years later we met
I made my peace
I showed you my poems
Which had set me free
You was cold
That I deserved
For all I had done
You didn’t accept a word
You walked out that day
You was right
You went out that door
And out of my life
That’s what you get
Peer pressure thump
Agony gets better
Face it, I was a chump
