Lesson Learned
By Lisa Leonard
Lesson Learned
When we were just friends
you would listen to my stories
about all the true loves lost
during my younger years of glory
You told me not to worry
that I was beautiful
so beautiful inside and out
You even battled all by anger,
my vicouous temper, and
my doubt
You made your move, grove, move
I took the late, fate, bait
thinking that our fond, blonde, bond
was unbreakable like William & Kate
Then I realized my one true fault
my skill to look the other way
I wrote down these words which
I still sing today
Thought I was a genius
Thought I was so fine
Thought I was a star
Because your heart & soul was mine
Then I felt your wrath
and your talent to hold and burn
Can't say much about it
but just another lesson learned
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see see the signs
I guess I was so grateful
that your heart & soul was mine
People ask me why you left me
and I say I was so surprised
as I grab onto any ear
that will listen to my cries
Years from now when I am dead, buried, and bones
Finally relieved of my prison of being alone
A stranger will stop and read my poetic tombstone
Thought I was a genius
Thought I was so fine
Thought I was a star
Because your heart & soul was mine
Then I felt your wrath
and your talent to hold and burn
Can't say much about it
but just another lesson learned
