You were everything1
I could have wanted2
You got under my skin3
And that’s where I thought4
You belonged.5
But I guess I was more6
Then you bargained for7
Because it only took you8
An hour to fall for her.9
So when you left me for her10
I made up my mind.11
You can keep your promises and secrets12
And give them to her13
She’ll believe every one just like me.14
She can have your wandering hands15
And hollow eyes16
I hope they only bring her happiness.17
I’ll give her your heart18
Wrapped with a bow19
It means nothing to me now.20
All I want in return21
For everything we been through22
Is my gym class heroes’ cd back23
Safe and in its case.
Author notes
I was actually listening to 'cupid's chokehold' by gym class heroes at the time. so I thought it was only right to use their name.

Have to admit you made me smile. I thought wow this is a real emotional poem you have going here. I feel the loss the pain that this person is going through then the ending. Great job turning it around. Loved it. Thanks for sharing this and thanks for entering it into my contest.
