Before

I remember before,
when I couldn't find the words,
the words to describe,
describe the way I felt
because my feelings were unknown,
even to me.
Now that I've finally found them,
it seems too late.
To late to make things right by me and you,
because the feelings you once had
are no longer true.
Before when you said those words I believed you,
you said them with such sincerity,
they had to be true.
But now I realize it was all a game,
I'd been played for a fool.
Left there with my feelings hanging out there,
out there to b crushed.
But they weren't.
I took them all in.
I took them in with hope that someone would,
just as you did,
before.
