Lessons from the Heart

Whispers in the night, a tale unfolds,

Of broken promises, and hearts turned cold.

Cruisin’ through the city lights, shadows on the street,

With a heart full of doubts, and a past bittersweet.

They say that love's a game, but I'm not here to play,

These other females ain’t loyal, man, they lead me astray.

Promises made in the heat of the moment,

Like smoke in the air, they fade without atonement.

Caught in the chase, just to fall to my knees,

The truth cuts deep, like a cold winter breeze.

These other females ain’t loyal, they’ll break you down,

With a pretty smile, they'll steal your crown.

But I’m rising from the ashes, I won't wear a frown,

No more playing with fire that burns to the ground.

They promise the stars, but deliver the night,

Wrapped in their arms, you think it's all right.

But they vanish like shadows, when the dawn breaks clear,

Leaving echoes of laughter, replaced by fear.

Caught in the moments that felt oh-so-right,

Blinded by glances in the dim candlelight.

Falling for illusions, I lost my way home,

But I'm stronger now, I refuse to roam alone.

These other females ain’t loyal, they’ll break you down,

With a pretty smile, they'll steal your crown.

But I’m rising from the ashes, I won't wear a frown,

No more playing with fire that burns to the ground.

But somewhere there’s a spark, a flicker of hope,

In a world full of games, I’ll learn how to cope.

I’ll build my own castle, with walls built so high,

With loyalty and truth, I’ll reach for the sky.

So here’s to the journey, the lessons I've learned,

For every heartbreak, a new page turned.

These other females ain’t loyal, but I’ll stand tall,

With love that’s unwavering, I just can’t fall.
