This Time Around

by: EJ

This time around,

I thought it'd be different,

I went about things in a new way,

I put myself out there,

This time around,

It felt so very special,

I thought I'd found my one true love,

I felt it could last forever,

This time around,

I got screwed over,

More than ever before,

My heart snapped in two,

Like a rotten old twig,

This time around,

I was just a figure in a board game,

Only meant to be played,

Only I was blind to it all,

Afterall love is blind,

It was all just a misconception on my part,

Cause this time around,

I really thought I could trust someone,

And oh my was I wrong,

Maybe next time around,

I won't be blind to reality.
