I Can Only Hope

You took my trust, my confidence.
Swept me off my feet.
Boy, you sure surprised me.
I fell fast and hard.
I fell all over you.

You left me.

You liked that, didn't you?
Your heartless games were successful.

Congratulations.

I can only hope.
That your heart is a little bigger,
 with the piece of mine in it.

And next time, whoever it is,
 that finds herself falling over you.

Won't have to pick up so many pieces.
