Once Bitten, Twice Shy
By darkness falls
Your advances were never the least bit subtle
That was the initial
attraction
I let you distract me, you had lots of practice
Played
me 'til you got a reaction
You told me you loved me, over
and over
As the years of my marriage went by
Doubting, but
still I tried to believe you
While she was the one in my life
As the years went by time pushed her away
So you waited,
biding your time
And one day it happened, we said it was over
She left and gave you the green light
But years of marriage
I just don't get over
Can't move on in the blink of an eye
Depression
hit hard but instead of support
You only thought of yourself as
I cried
I tried to be strong with my heart again broken
I'd
believed all your sweet little lies
Had to distance myself so I
ran away
You finally noticed that I'd broke theĀ ties
You
acted so clueless about what you'd done
So I tried to save face
and deny
That you'd made me believe that you might be the one
Guess
there's no bigger a fool than I
But after the shock and the
sadness wore off
Came the anger I felt at betrayal
I finally
gave in to my battered emotions
And gave you hell for your self-centered
tales
Now things have changed, your chance is long gone
My heart is as hard as a stone
Still you smile and give me those
blue bedroom eyes
'Cause you don't think you've done anything wrong
It doesn't exist, your bright FaceBook world
Where you pretend
that everything's fine
The picture you paint's just a desperate
illusion
Brought on by the scenes playing in your mind
Yes,
I made a mistake by letting you in
Went from cautious hope to just
wanting to die
Thought it could be right, I couldn't have been more
wrong
So I'll sign this; once bitten, twice shy....
Author's Note:
Marriage, and breaking up is hard enough. But when someone who's swore they've loved you for years pulls the rug out from under you when you need a shoulder to cry on, it will drive you to the brink of suicide. Run away as fast as you can....Comments on "Once Bitten, Twice Shy"

If #1 was your high school sweetheart then don't feel so bad, because we all grow up, eventually. The chick with the hots was probaly psyched by the challenge of a married man perhaps? Then as Haunted said "P" Power, or access to the eggs in caveman speak, is quite formidable - cheers!
