Vulnerable

going against my own advice
i couldn't help
but open up
leaving myself vulnerable

my mind kept saying no
i turned a deaf ear
when i should have
listened closely

there's not much
to be done now
but to walk away
in pain

lessons learnt
won't go to waste
but not using them
is the case

as always
i'll have with me
the wonderful memories
that i've made

so i'll bear
through the pain
because it wasn't
all in vain

i'll always smile
when i think of you
maybe shed a tear
because we are through
