movies

a woman holding in her jealous driven tears,
watching on as her love confirms her fears
of being alone, with no one to hold close,
but the life with her is what he chose.

he fell in love with someone else.

why can't life be like black and white movies,
where the love is always beautiful and moving,
the girl loves the boy, but the boy is poor,
but in the end their happiness is worth more,
they never told us what really happens in the world,
how unrequited love will take down the girl.

she saw him buying coffee across the street,
thinking it would be nice just to meet
up and talk about all they've been missing,
but she let it go once she saw her
ex-bestfriend and him kissing.

he fell in love with someone else.

why can't life be like black and white movies,
where the love is always beautiful and moving,
the girl loves the boy, but the boy is poor,
but in the end their happiness is worth more,
they never told us what really happens in the world,
how unrequited love will take down the girl.

how could she be so stupid,
trusting someone like him,
losing hope in all the stories,
she saw a man across the dim
bar, staring at her from afar,
maybe it wasn't over afterall.

why can't life be like black and white movies
where the love is always beautiful and moving.
they never told us what really happens in the world,
how unrequited love will take down the girl,

and lift her back up, when she meets the one,
she fell in love with someone else.
