Contingency Plan

It doesn’t
Make me proud to write this
Knowing that you
Gave your all to me
While I was still holding back

The biggest hurdle
With love
Is believing
That once you fall
Someone
Will be there
To catch you

So I strung
You along
Loose ends hung

Saying I was in love with you
When I was still
Out playing like
I was single
Being a typical man
One girl to the next
Just want to mingle

Love is a chess board
And you showed me
Checkmate baby

Best laid plans
Go
To waste
