Like a Daisy

the moment you stepped into my life
you pulled on my heart just like the tide
made every moment feel just right,
I was at home right by your side.
it was on you that I relied
to feel true happiness inside.
but like a flame in the night,
you sizzled out and changed your mind.
now I’ll remember every word you lied;
I’ll take a hint and stand aside.
and that’s just how I’ll live my life,
choking back tears and swallowing pride.
like a daisy that subsides
alone, in a field of green.
