I caught a fleeting glimpse

I can’t believe my messed up brain,
    the absurdity in being positive again.
But this girl is surely not so blind,
    and every story has at least two sides.
Just remember at first it was me,
    who said that we could never be.
And you promised me it was okay,
    and that no matter what you’d stay.
The lie that friendship was enough,
    until "just friends" became too tough.
But romantic notions strung me along,
    until the day it all went wrong.
Until the moment you held me tight,
    turning my insides out, and black to white.
The second you let go I knew it was the end,
    and once again, I had lost my friend.
I had so hoped that your lies were true,
    and I wanted so much to believe in you.
Pretending to be so sweet to me,
    saying things I didn't want to believe.
I wasn't ready for how you made me feel,
    but I desperately wanted it to be real.
Laying all my dimes on the words you spoke,
    temporarily forgetting I’d end up broke.
And so I run off to kiss another fool,
    my only way of forgetting you.
Erasing your face from my memories,
    but your eyes remain, to torture and tease.
