I Should Have Known

Disappointment met my eyes,
As I looked outside.
Like my heart, the street was empty,
You weren’t insight, and there was no sign,
That you would show.
I blame myself this time,
It’s not like you promised,
But I thought for sure you would come,
As your written words fill me with hope,
Which, looking back, was just plain dumb

Why would you come, after all this time?
Why come back to a place, you escaped?
Why bother with the memories?
Why do your words still affect me so?
Questions upon questions, with answers, I’ll never know.

How simply idiotic I am, I realize,
To believe that you would change.
It’s like giving your heart away
Or wishing on a start
In the end there’s only disappointment
I should have known
