I hope you dont become another one of them.Another story of how I fooled myself,a reminder of my bad decisionsanother name to add to the list of peopleI dont want to see again.I hope you dont become another storyI tell my daughterwhen she asks me about the menshe needs to avoid.I hope you dont become another lessonGod teaches me the hard wayI hope you dont become another jokemy friends use to remind me of my embarrassing past.I hope you dont become another personmy mom wishes I never metI hope you dont become all the thingsshe told me to look out forI hope you dont do all the thingsshe warned me you might do.I hope you dont become another classicin my book of relationships;same endingsame goodbyesame mistake.I hope you dont become another storyI write about for the broken heartedI hope you dont become another faceIm forced to forgetI hope you dont become another strangerwho once knew too much about me.I hope you dont become another storythe universe just wasnt rooting forI hope this story is full of sparksI hope its full of flamesthat wont burn me in the end.I hope you dont become another woundI need to heal fromor another scarI need to conceal.
