Next Time

Everyone tells me 
   I am such a strong person
So why can't I be strong
   Around you?

You treat me like shit
   You use me
     You lie to me
You do anything you can
   To hurt me

You never made any promises though
     No expectations

I bet you never expected this though
It's about time that I am on my own

But next time I'm in for a relationship
   Do me a favor-
Don't rise to the occasion.
