Why

I do not understand why you do the things you do.
I thought you were serious and mature, but no more.
Your actions belittle your endearing words.

You opened my minds eye to the joy of reading again,
You made me start to care even though I was afraid.
As I began to open up more and let my defenses fall,
Secretly I was terrified of it all.

You wanted my honesty, so I gave it to you,
Yet I feel you spited me because of it.
You lead me astray with your pretty words,
When all along you never planned to follow through.

I guess you really weren't ready for something new,
for if you were, these games you wouldn't have played.
I should've known better than to trust your lies.
It's a shame things resulted this way,
because I started to like the way you made me feel.
And I think we could've had something real.

What I want to know is where is the person,
that talked with me so intently all those times.
I find myself wondering if it was ever even you,
I'm not into your games so I say goodbye.

I was fine on my own until you came along,
You with your sly games and deceitful words.
You've made me realize I was right all along,
I should've just moved on and not let you in.
You can't be trusted, you're just like the rest,
You just leave behind the pain in my chest.
