Two men pursued her who she liked:
One was nice; the other a jerk.
She asked me, then, for my advice:
I said, “The latter’s bad for you”
And so, she thanked me and she left.
She broke up with the nicer one;
Was with the jerk, until she found out
He was cheating on her
She called me up in tears, and asked:
How could he run around on me?
I said “He treated you like crap;
Almost as bad as you treat yourself”
There was silence, then she said,
“I counted on you for support.”
The phone clicked and she went away;
A place that she’s been since
It’s kind of like a hangover:
You knew that it would happen, but
You drank way too much anyway,
And blame me for
The pain
She didn’t accept because she wanted advice she wanted to hear not what was the truth….
Timing and delivery … often the culprits … no bad intentions … nobody’s fault. 🙂
