Tell me you love me again
it's bitter sweet
empty words and broken promises
the last stand

I let you throw me around
you left me broken in pieces on the ground
so why do I keep coming?
for you I put my heart on a sleeve
you had a way to make me believe
now my hope is gone

but that's just what I get
my fate was set when I
fell in love with a player.

I really like this poem, and I'm glad that you wrote it. I especially liked the lines "so why do I keep coming?/for you I put my heart on a sleeve/ you had a way to make me believe" The on a sleeve really got me thinking.
