7 Days

At first you said I’m sorry
You knew that you were wrong
But then you stayed another week
That’s 7 days too long

On Monday you begged me to take you back
And tried to change my mind
But although I forgave you long ago
I can’t just leave behind
Those memories, the suffering
That you always put me through
The times you promised you loved me
And I thought I loved you too
You brought it up and then I knew
That you didnt really care
That sorry came too easily
And life was just unfair

By Tuesday I was miserable
And you acted like such a nice guy
You were so tender, so caring, so loving
I forgot how you made me cry
You said, “I love you” a thousand times
And brought me a bunch of flowers
We sat and listened to music
Up in my room for hours

By Wednesday I was ready
To take you back once more
But then I saw the letter
From your girlfriend by the door
I have helped you through your problems
Put up with your attitude
And THIS is how you repay me?
Do you call this gratitude?
I HATE you dont you realize
That I’m not some little tart?
That you can come and play with
Then try to break my heart

On Thursday the house was quiet
My mum thought you had gone
To her you were a house-guest
And I couldn’t carry on
I told my mama everything
How you made me want to die
But you overheard what I said
And you gave me this black eye
None of my friends believed it
When I said I bumped my head
They saw the bruises and they knew
I was lucky to not be dead

On Friday you were kicked out
Of my house, this time for good
That might stop you from getting to me
Well at least it should
You phoned me on my mobile
And you apologized
And even though I loved you
It was then I realized
If you loved me like I said
You never would have hit
You never would have cheated
Or made me feel like S---

On Saturday you waited
For me outside my door
You kissed me and I melted
Even though then I was sure
I could never like you
And although my love was strong
The bonds that chained my heart to yours
Could never last that long

On Sunday morning you were there
So I said our last goodbye
As the memories came flooding back
I heard you start to cry
It’s strange that now I look back
I remember the surprise
That you had written on your face
And the fear shown in your eyes
I open up my diary
And our love showed plainly there
If only for those 7 days
You could have shown you care
