To all the boys I've left behind,
A mess I left at my foot.

There was one, two, three,
Four, five, six, seven.
And more to follow suit.

Back to the beginning,
I travel to Mr. Fake.
Not even real,
Little me was mistaken.

Screen hid replies
A liar with spies,
Turned out fishy,
A catfisher with no mercy.

Then came a tidal wave,
He swept up my heart,
The reason for three, four and five.

Escapist Shay,
Held on to a ray.
And blindly for years,
I worshipped and pleaded.
That one day he would be mine.

May or may not be fake...
No matter, a baby was on the way.
He shattered my heart,
I had to say goodbye.

Went from kindness to weirdness.
Weirdo was very ambiguous.
Thought it was grace,
But turned into mace.
His words are forever scarring.

But little Do-Gooder,
Shining his light,
He was the best of me.
Too good for a wreck like me.

For I am a villain in plain sight.
When I cried thorns, he held them.
Then I left him for another guy.

So soon, I met Mr. Pushy
A snake out to attack.

Then an angel saved me.
From stormy skies.
Carried me down from a rock.

Perfect and serene.
A wondrous dream.
But after a year,
Immaturity beamed.

I took the blame,
Left with no name.
Now I start over,
Broken from his game.

Sir mystery,
A forbidden fruit.
Still you say I'm far too cute.

I feel you cocoon me.
Here all these years,
A blessing in disguise,
The distance cuts me dry.

Dried these teary eyes,
A fighter by my side.
Only to find out,
I'm many years behind.

To all the boys I've left behind,
To all the boys who care.
For when the damage you caused
Is done

I'll make my grand entrance clear.

Thank you for the lessons,
Times up, but it's been great.
Now I'm on my own, at last.
A free bird with less weight.

To my future man,
My soulmate.
Patiently, I'll wait.
