Him

First you love him,
then you hate him.
It just goes back and forth.

How long has this been happening?
No one really knows.
It's just been too long.

He treats you like garbage,
with the constant insults and slander,
to your face and behind your back.

"He's such a fun guy, but..."
There's always the exception.
He'll never change.

You've told me many times
how much of a jerk he is.
You need to listen to yourself.

You've told me many times
how much of a player he is.
And you think he won't play you?

He told you he's loved you since the 9th grade.
Well, why hasn't he shown it? Wait... did you even know him then?
Why hasn't your relationship worked yet?

He told his ex that he wasn't ready to be serious.
He just said "I'm only 19".
What makes you think he's different?

He told you that it was just an excuse,
and that he wants to be serious with you.
I already said, he'll never change.

All he did was lie to that girl.
She knew someone completely different.
Now she knows who he really is...

If you want to know, call her!
Hell, I'll call her for you!
Here's the phone, prepare to be enlightened.

I've heard her, her friends,and you
say how much better I am than him.
So, why are you going back to him?

I don't know how else to warn you.
You know him as well as I.
So... why do you think he's so great?

He may be fun to hang out with,
but he's different in relationships.
I've heard a lot about that.

I hope this gives you fair warning,
because once he breaks your heart again.
I know I'll hear all about it.

I always do. I'll always be the friend.
And you'll fall back on me, confide in me.
Because we all know, I'd better not change.

Because... I've heard so many times before...
I'm so much better.
That will never change.

Author notes

The first thing I've written in a while. It's pretty much for a friend of mine who is debating whether or not to start dating another friend of mine (again). But, you get the idea.
***EDIT*** I added a little part after the "9th grade" line

    that's well-written, kyle
    actually reminds me of a few people, rather than the two that you wrote it about...

    That's exactly what I'm saying. And the strange thing is, she's over here at this very moment... All I can really say later is "Hey, I tried to warn you..."

    Hmm, I like the new addition. So you're saying he's a lying piece of shit? Ok. I can agree with that.

    Hehe. Yes you are in it No, it's not bad that you were laughing. Yeah, I'm living with him... yeah...
    I already talked to her about what kind of a person he is. I guess I'll just have to see what happens. Hopefully nothing. All he does is treat her like crap pretty much all the time, whether he's just joking or not, it's just not cool. ...I wonder if I said that already. Lol.

    You take care as well, K

    P.S. Tell her it's not worth it.
