The List Of Guys

by Dark Angel - Pisces

I made a list of guys tonight
Not of guys whom I wish for
But of guys who have caused me pain over the years
The ones who have caused me to lock all my hearts doors.

Beside them I made a list of reasons
What they did to make me hurt so
And to help you understand I suppose I'll write a little story
So to you, my pain I can show.

I once was in love with a guy named John
He was my last love, the one I write about most of the time
He wanted someone too perfect and that I could not be
Being with him really made my stress level climb.

Next was a guy by the name of Nick
He told me that he had to go away for work but when he came back he would contact me
I kept my promise and waited for him
Soon to find out that what he told me was a lie and it couldn't be.

Then was a guy by the name of Keith
He said he loved me but always threatened to go back to a girl named Meg
So I quickly told myself to just let him go
And I wouldn't look back, no matter how much he would beg.

Then was the guy named Matt
I loved him and he knew it
But he shoved me away, told me that he just couldn't take me
And with that said, he blew it.

Ryan was the next person who really comes to mind
We talked all the time, day and night
But then he got a job and found another girl
No longer do I feel him holding me tight.

David was my very first love
A kindergarten kiddy love kinda thing
But he came back my Junior year in high school
We realized everything had changed and with that shadows to our friendship it did bring.

Out of a list of thirty guys I put together
I've only told you a little piece to six
But with just those six they've caused enough pain
To slow down my heart and how it ticks.

You may think that I just blow things out of proportion
But when it comes to love no pain can you forget
You mind holds on and it just can't let go
And some things your heart won't even permit.
