I was so hopeful
For someone to know me
For someone to share their dreams
I let you in, to my strange world.

I let myself believe
I let myself go, to you
You humoured me for a while
Then you broke my heart in two.

I tolerated and understood
Maybe you did too
But it made no difference
To your disjointed heart and lips.

I kindled a secret fire
And waited for time
To provide the extra fuel
But thoughtlessly you quenched it.

I let myself believe
That you meant everything you said
I let myself go, to you
And tell you things I shouldn’t.

You humoured me for a while
Then you broke my heart in two
