A Dream Poem by courtney metcalf

I don't know why I ever gave you my love.
I guess I just wanted to believe in someone.
That was enough.
To throw all my trust into someone
And invest all my time.
Wanted to chance it all, for just the right guy.
Needed to make a jump for once in my life,
Even if I knew I'd fall.
I was hoping I was wrong.
I was hoping one day we'd have it all.
For one stupid chance,
Now I'm forever afaid to commit.
Could never put faith,
Into even the most perfect relationship.
I don't like how this ended up.
It hurts me more than any emotion I've ever felt.
I dedicated myself to you, now I'm dealing the hand I was delt.
Maybe I shouldn't cry?
After all, it was my fault.
I gave my whole world to a boy who didn't care,
But who would have thought?
He told me he loved me.
Said he'd marry me some day.
I didn't know everything he said was nothing more than fake.
Time and tears cannot make someone love you.
This, I've figured out.
All he was, was a dream, that I'd always dreamed about.
