A Not-So-Simple Mistake

The girl from the poetry
Of my recent past
Turned out to merely be a lie;
A fling that would not last.

I fooled myself into thinking
That I was in love with her.
But she was not the one
That I had truly fallen for.

So I am here to make a correction.
I am mending the mess I made.
For the only person that I love
Is the only person that stayed.

He was there for me
In my times of need.
She just handed me a knife
And left me there to bleed.

Never was I good enough
For her scrutinizing eyes.
But he is always there for me
To listen to my cries.

So in conclusion,
I was wrong.
This boy is the one
Who keeps my heart strong.
