The Joke's On You

by Terri Lyn Stanfield

Copyright:  4/15/2001

Why did you do this

Are you satisfied

You had it all planned

You were very sly

You arranged it all

The time and the place

Did you want to see

The pain on my face

When I arrived here

I saw you at once

Kissing another

I felt like a dunce

And as you kissed her

Your eyes locked with mine

Yours full of gloating

And mine opened wide

If what you wanted

Was to say goodbye

You could have told me

But you didn't try

And in a strange way

I suppose I'm glad

How can I mourn for

Someone who's a cad

You've made it easy

For me to move on

And after tonight

I'm glad you'll be gone

How could I have been

Infatuated

With such a jerk, when

I've always hated

Users and takers

But you managed to

Somehow ensnare me

And I fell for you

Or maybe I tripped

Cause if I fell hard

It would hurt much more

And would leave me scarred

And all that I feel

To my surprise

Is gratitude

That you opened my eyes

The joke is on you

Now I'm leaving here

My heart still in tact

M emotions clear

And for the first time

Since you came along

I'm feeling grounded

My heart filled with song

I feel a freedom

And a confidence

Belief in myself

I haven't had since

You entered my life

My subconscious knew

From the beginning

I didn't love you

You were just something

I needed to do

As a life lesson

Good riddance to you
