Carelessness

By Matisynn Leckey

Stay wary of those who are attractive to the eye

For those of which you must always be aware.

Because of this, I heave a great sigh.

 

I demanded to know why

God allowed me to fall into his care.

Stay wary of those who are attractive to the eye.

 

He promised me the sun, the moon, and the sky.

He pinky-swore to me that he would go nowhere.

Because of this, I heave a great sigh.

 

He gave me the ring that I

Wore day and night, anywhere and everywhere.

Stay wary of those who are attractive to the eye.

 

I handed him my whole heart, with no imply

And zero second thoughts as to what would become my future despair.

Because of this, I heave a great sigh.

 

I wished him away and out of my life, oh I did try

To push him out, never again did I forswear

Stay wary of those who are attractive to the eye.

 

But here he comes again, my morals on which I rely

In order to stay away from a devastating love affair.

Stay wary of those who are attractive to the eye.

Because of this, I heave a great sigh.
