Lesson Learned

1 person with a huge heart

1 person with no soul 

Huge heart has hope 

While the soul loses control

Huge heart has a future 

Soul wants theirs to end 

Soul has a gang 

Huge heart has one friend

Huge heart falls for soul

but doesn't know the truth

Heart has hopes that soul won't let loose 

Huge heart falls but the soul flies

Heart then gets hurt and life is finally in its eyes

Soul played heart wrong all along

Heart was broken 

But pick the pieces to stay strong 

Heart moved on

But soul always had heart on its mind 

Soul finds care for heart that is deep inside

Soul asks heart for another chance another try 

Heart's been hurt so much

It had no cares to give this time 

Heart's last words before it finally moves on and never see soul again

"Always lament, honesty is the best policy. So long my once true friend"
