Lies!
You broke my heart in two
And took me like a bet,
with all you put me through
I have so many regrets.
To lose you was worth it,
although I wasn't sure,
it seemed to make me happy,
but still so insecure.
We always said Forever
we would take it to the end
never give it up
but this time my heart couldn't mend.
It cut so deep into me
I guess it hurt you too
but when you did it, then you lied
I had to say "we're through."
I gave you all I had
I tried to make it last
but now all we have
are memories from the past.
So look me in the eye
and tell me what you see
a girl so broke inside
who's been through misery.
And now I’m moving on
with the pain that kills inside
but I’m starting to forget
by reminding myself, how you lied!
I have somebody new
someone to treat me right,
to talk to lovingly
and to hold me all night.
He's there for me when I need him
to give me love and support
to hold me close and wipe away
all my signs of hurt.
To kiss me softly every night
and let me know he's there
to call me just because,
just to tell me that he cares.
Now here I go again
fallen so hard, so deep
but this time it's different,
this is one I want to keep!
And took me like a bet,

I like this poem alot. Excellent work, very expressive and heartfelt. I wrote a very similar poem way back in 1983 when I was 20. I wound up making two poems out of it with some minor editing because certain parts seemed to go together better. I hope you don't mind if I post them here, it just makes me think of them and I wanted to share them with you. I will eventually post these in my library, but I just have so many that I need to get out. Hope you like them...

"What Lies Beneath"
I once wallowed in self-pity
Froze beneath that witches titty
Now the fire is burning ever more
For this girl who's shown me an open door
A different class of lady
Is what I've found, one less shady
She's revealed an abundance of love
And lusts deception she's risen above
Her aura glitters with beauty
And I feel it surrounding me
Soon she'll be a woman full of love
And I will be the man that fills her up

"Your Great Charade"
And so I suffered from a pain
That stemmed from deep within my brain
Not only for the love that was lost
But also for our friendship which it cost
And I may never understand
How love and hate both share command
Of feelings that I thought had died
When you told me truths about which you lied
Too high a price for love was paid
When you performed your great charade
With eyes wide open I was blind
My back was turned as you slithered behind
And now at last the truth is out
Your conscience cries consumed in doubt
Could you hear your promises fade
Each time you lied in the bed that you made?

oh that's really weird, I just realized the first poem had the word aura in it. I had come back just to read your reply and noticed it. How funny is that?
