Thank You

Thank you,

    For letting me love you,
once upon a time.
thanks for giving me love,
when you gave me the time.
Thanks for your promises
that you were mine;
all those promises
of gold
and silver shine.

    Thank you, my dear,
I will always remember
the lesson you taught,
that love can be sold,
and love can be bought.
It was a willing transaction,
the loaded words from your lips
for my trust and my heart.

    Thank you for the dream you created for me.
You spun me a story,
like a master dream weaver.
"Together forever",
were the words that you told me.
"If we weren't together,
I swear it would kill me.
Love, I'll never leave you.
How could I ever hurt you?
It's just you and me
forever and ever."

    Thank you for teaching me
that I was so naïve,
and how love can make a fool out of me-
a truth that, before you,
I did not believe.

    Thanks for letting me love you,
and wasting your time.
And thank God you were at least good for a rhyme.
