You, a Poem

You'll be fooled by love that moves too fast
And by promises that never last

You'll let him in before you find him out
And stifle any thoughts of doubt

You'll give him trust he'll never earn
And forgive his lust at every turn

You’ll justify all the years put in
As though time erases carnal sin

You'll support, deny, forgive, and try
You'll tell yourself lie after lie

And stay because you think you should
Even when there's no more good

But there will come a day you’ll realize
That forgiving will lead to your demise

Because there is no magic cure
To save someone so insecure

And, ultimately, there is no prize
For enabling his stupid lies

I know this because I once was you
And one day, you will know it, too
