My Mind is playing the Same Old Song

Emotions tied in knots

I need to write

My feelings and thoughts

Leaving me feeling like a fool

I was the perfect victim for you


My mind is playing the same old song

Why did I trust you

So willing to play along


Believing your intentions were sincere

Your sweet words

Brought music to my ears



My mind is playing the same old song

Why did I trust you

So willing to play along



In my heart

I usually trust

I let you pull me

Into your game of lust



Writing note to self

So I will remember

Next time

Don’t fall

For the charms of a handsome stranger



My mind is playing the same old song

Why did I trust you

So willing to play along

I like as a song. I actually went and instead of reading it I sang it. Probably not with the same tune that you had in mind for it but....

Hi Susan,

I am sure your tune is great. I actually don't have one for this song. :-)

Have a good weekend.

"Once burned, twice cautious." No need for the same old song. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Broken hearts have scar tissue, to make them stronger. "...older, wiser," you bet, and you better.

Hi persypcacious

No need for the same old song. If we only learned from our mistakes, the first time.

I must say, when I learnt that you just published a Hub.. I smiled.. When I read the Tittle, again!, I smiled. And I had just read the first two lines when I felt my heart beat.. I love love this Hub.. What can I say.. touching, beautiful,insightful, revealing, sweetest mistake, hurt but not depressed, beating but not defeated...

My heart is playing the same Old song..

I can tell you are not here to stay

But am willing to give it a try

Deep down it feels like a dream and I realize it soon will end.. But I was willing to take a chance with you.

My heart is playing the same Old song

And for cherished thought and that priceless moment

I was willing to Play along...

Great lyrics Sue, I found myself singing this.

There are many lessons to learn around love and we don't always learn the first time do we.

@Capedium Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. They put a big smile on my face. I love the words you added.

@Epi Thank you so much. Your words bring a happy song to my mind. Thanks for the compliments on my pic. Blushing.

@Rosemay Thank you. You are so right. We don't always learn the first time.

@Jami Thank you for the up up and away votes. Nazareth sang "Love Hurts" What would we do without google. My sister has a Border Collie. He is better company than some people I know.

@Writer So glad you liked it Joyce.

Wishing everybody a great weekend. :-)

I can relate to these words, and that same old song, going around and around on the turntable that is my mind. Love your words here, my votes to you!! Oh, and I love your hot new profile shot too!! :)

"I let you pull me/Into your game of lust" - so true - why do we let that happen at the worst times?! I love the metaphor of the same old song - that's perfect to describe the patterns we fall into without meaning to or even wanting to. Another great one, Sue - Voted up and awesome!

Hi Fastionista

Thank you as always for your kind comments and votes up.

Maybe at the worse of times we are not thinking rationally so we get pulled into the game of lust.

Have a good day. :-)

Hi Sue - Another good "bittersweet story" poem.

Haven't seen a Haiku in a while. Have I missed them or is the Haiku you on hiatus?

Hi Teresa,

Thanks, glad you liked his one.

You haven't missed any Haikus. I am just taking a break. :-)

Hey, Sue,

Girl, you nearly told the story of my life...falling for strangers, while mostly being driven by lust, and going on to break their hearts as a result.

And on a number of occasions, I was the one who ended up with the broken heart.

Sueswan profile image

Sueswan Hub Author 3 months ago

Hi feenix,

Lust sure can get us in trouble. I met a guy who said he found me attractive and wanted to get to know me better. He asked me if I would like to go out. I said yes,and he never did call. Maybe, I should have played hard to get but I am too old for games.

Have a good evening my friend. :)
