Mistaken Desires

Mistaken Desires
Can hurt the most,
Seeing as
You dreamt them up
Hoping that
They'd be true.

Mistaken Desires
Caught me today
As I was hoping
He
Was just like me.

I had thought
He was clean
And had no experience
Just like me.
But I found out
I was wrong
When he told me
He had banged
An ex of his
From long ago.
I was surprised
Only at first,
Until he mentioned
They wanted to
For their Anniversary.
Now,
Isn't that something?
I felt crushed...
He'll forever hold
A connection
With Her,
Which I thought
I'd of held,
Come time
For such a thing.

Mistaken Desires
Lead to pain,
And I
Should have known better
Than to fall victim
To
Mistaken Desires.
