MERELY TEMPORARY

I was merely temporary
There to fill a void
Someone to be close to 
To help drown out the noise. 

Said that you were lonely
Said we were meant to be
Said fate brought us together
Said you would  marry me. 

Told you all my secrets
My deepest darkest  thoughts
Then I found her number
Guess you wanted to get caught. 

Said that you were  sorry
Said you  made a big mistake
Said you’d always love me
But, then sent me away. 

I was so in love with you
Gave up everything
Did the things you wanted to
Then gave back your ring.

True love’s not temporary
It’s meant to last forever
I was used, then cast aside
Cause you found someone better. 

Don’t believe this was a lesson
Not what was meant for me
I believe  I  dodged a bullet
The day you set me free.
