It has long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.<br /> ~Leonardo da Vinci


Before I knew it,
You were gone.
And before I knew it,
Everything went wrong.
And so I said,
I'm never goin' back
I won't make the same mistakes again.
But then you came here,
With a promise and a smile.
You took back every
Mean thing you've ever said.
My heart melted right there and then
I fell into your arms,
Started to trust you again.
But one day I looked into your eyes
And they were cold and black.
I knew I was losing you once more.
So then I left for the second time
I ran and I ran,
Blinded by tears
Into someone else's arms.
But he, instead of catching me,
Let me down too.
And so I said
I'm never goin' back,
I won't make the same mistakes again.
But then he came here,
With a promise and a smile
He took back every mean thing he'd ever said.
My heart started to melt
But then I remembered.
This had happened before.
I held my head high
And looked him in the eye,
And said I won't go back.
So I turned,
Walked away,
And Never
Came
Back

This isn't based off any relationship that I've had, but it fit my mood when I was writing it. At first sad and broken, but then courageous and independent.
