You

By DarkBruce

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You are the dagger Concealed beneath the cloak. You are the queasiness inside Making me want to choke. You say you are honest with me What a fruitless joke. I gave you everything You took it all in stride, You never really listened, Never knew how I felt inside, Now I am changed forever And through you a piece of me has died. Behind my back you crept Stealthily and without effort I never suspected anything I loved you so much it hurt Blinded by my emotions I was not hard for you to avert. Whispers in the dark Unable to be translated by ear In soft voices you spoke Even when I was near Just how long has this been going on? The answer, I’m not sure I want to hear. I loved you Amy This will always be true But no more will I be abused While you search for someone new The 3 years we shared meant the world to me But obviously it was worthless to you.I wrote this poem in conjunction with my other poem betrayal. They are about the same person. Written March 28th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 03:36 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
