Its been four years
Since you sat on my bed
With misty eyes
Trying to ready yourself
To let me go
With a sad smile
You took my hand gently in your own
Looked into my eyes
And said it was time to let go
For just a little while
After a moment
You stood and held me
As tears slid down my cheeks
I loved you with every ounce of my soul
For some reason it was never enough
Just days ago I saw you two
Hand in hand
Happily walking as if there was no one else
In this world
Even after four years
That scene was like
A knife to the heart
Because only months ago
You showed up at my door
Claiming to love me
Just as you had four years ago
Staring out the window
Watching with red swollen eyes
It is clear
Your words were untrue
And they opened wounds
That had finally healed
It's been four years
Yet sometimes i still long to be
Your one and only
But even then I knew
She was there everytime
I was not
Sitting here alone once more
I hate you
For lying
Knowing how much your words would mean
If only they were true

Hey Princess, IM SORRY... this is a GREAT POEM, and your WORDS are felt by ME,, GOD BLESS YOU, and KEEP YOU SAFE.....

thats nice kinda cohenesque....

so sorry SP...lying is one of the most hurtful things 1 human being can do to another,
I alway's try to tell the truth, no matter what, cuz I have been on the receiving end of lies many times.
Try and forget him, (i know easier said than done)
In the end you will have wasted way too many years, and too many tears on him

hey, i agree, this is a great poem, it hit me in my heart, because it was four years ago, when i found out my x cheated on me and he walked out. thanks.

shadow....

I hope things are better for you. What a horrible thing...to be lied to and cheated on, no one deserves that. I am so sorry
it happened to you
