Liar

You told me that you loved me,
You told me how I made you happy,
How I was the only thing keeping you alive,
How we'd always be together.
But you lied to me!
You lied to me about more than I ever thought you did,
About everything I thought was true in our relationship.
When I finally let someone break us up,
I thought I should be smacked for letting him do such a thing.
How could I let him tear us apart?
He didn't know you like I knew you,
He didn't know about our love for each other,
But alas, all things must come to an end,
And so did we.
Then we tried to get back together,
And you told me I was the father of the baby
growing inside your belly.
The date of conception was when we were last together,
And stupid me,
I did not use a condom.
The circumstances were rather grim,
You were doomed to have a miscarriage
Due to some unwise decisions made on your part,
But I loved you anyways.
I wanted to marry you and start a family.
Good Gaia, I was so foolish and young.
If only then had I known that you were a such liar.
The day came,
You had the miscarriage.
I wanted badly to come see you,
To comfort you,
And let you know that everything was okay,
That I wasn't going anywhere.
But you decided that you wanted to be with
Your boyfriend at college instead.
I was made bitter and I hurt you like that hurt me.
What a fool I was.
Then the day came when you told me the truth,
That you had made the whole thing up to get back together.
I didn't want to believe that.
I thought then that I knew better than that,
That you couldn't fake those tears,
But I never really knew you,
Did I?
And tears are so easy to fake over the phone.
It took us a year to start talking again.
When I asked you about the baby,
You told me you lied.
I believed that you had this time.
You told me that things weren't working with your boyfriend,
And that you loved and missed me,
I told you that I felt the same.
But after talking so much now,
About things that you never told me when we were together,
I now realize that we can never get back together.
It hurts too much to hear things that you never told me,
Things kept hidden,
Things told as lies,
It hurts me more than you could realize.
And now I see
What made the relationship work the first time
Is that…
I am a liar too.
