This Time

The last time I wrote poetry
Was for some guy who probably
didn't deserve it
He burnt me like the others did
Kissing someone else while I cried
my eyes out for him
By myself

I said I'd never do it again
Lock my heart away
and give somebody else the key
I swore I'd never see the day
I'd ever let anybody
take control of me
Like you have

But then you came along and swore you'd
Love me till the end of time
and never let me fall
I admit I was scared at first
But your heart showed me the way,
now there's no turning back
Not this time
