Who knew you were a veteran

when I was still navigating in this labyrinth 

I was just a neophyte

who tried to ignore our every fight

 

We tried to piece the jigsaw of love together,

But I’m insecure and you’re immature

 

Should’ve put a full stop before things became egregious 

And now the route turns devious,

It leaves me so lugubrious.

 

It was so fatuous 

that I was so infatuated;

that I fell so deeply into it

it was all so innocent 

Dating boy with complicated exes 

How could I be so reckless?

 

You said you loved me with effulgent smiles

that made my heart run a thousand miles

You promised me the earth, the stars, the moon

And I trusted you because I was a lovesick loon 

 

Wearing your sweater all of a flutter 

Eavesdropping gossips all of a doodah 

How much I wished today was April Fool 

so that I could dispel this fatal wound 

 

I was a pawn in your bet

since the first day we met

I mean darling what the heck?

 

I know you play hockey 

But I never knew you were that cocky 

Guess I should’ve taken a hint in your name 

Hugo with a huge ego and no shame

 

Were you thinking about that brunette 

When you gave me that nonchalant peck?

 

What a bewitching fiend 

with looks shown in magazine 

with charm that made me drain this poisoned chalice

and stuck to this haunting palace.
