Something To Believe In

Just some of my reflections looking back on certain ones....

Something To Believe In

We started out fine and things just seemed to be,

Soon you started saying you were in love with me.

The words were sweet and held a illusions sight,

Kept me warm with thought each and every night.

Then the days passed and things became a puzzle,

Soon I felt it was a trap and you applied me a muzzle.

Actions didn't match the words you filled my head,

Everything went twisted and nothing by what you said.

You blocked my sight yet continued to mumble words,

Told me forever and that my feelings were for the birds.

All along I guess I knew that this was all your game,

To hold on to the tokens while you rise into your fame.

I watched and waited for you to play all your hand,

Then when reality kicked in I left the fields to stand.

I knew you lied and covered that you were untrue,

So I said my goodbyes and told you we were thru.

I hope your happy playing with others as you did me,

Sooner or later, in the end, will haunt you miserably.

As for me I will search for another to solidly forsake,

Knowing in my heart I was true and you were just a fake.

This is a well-told story in a poem with strong rhyme & rhythm. I like that you take your time thru-out the telling, as some writers seem to rush thru such a story. Your pacing includes so many recognizable details that we've all experienced in one way or another. Good on you for finally seeing thru this con job & moving on! That would be my preferred way of handling such a situation! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

It seems I haven't seen you on here much, but I was happy to see you & that's why I clicked on this one *smile*

Honestly I been afraid to post much because of someone emailing everyone saying bad remarks. So I kind of remain silent and tired of defending myself.

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience that inhibits you here . . . I'm too forgetful to keep my mind on these pests! *sigh!*

It is heart breaking when one's actions end up not aligning with their words.. I find this to be true of people not entirely honest with themselves, so how could they be honest with others? So much placating lip service served up like sugar out there... so many illusions. A real, authentic person doesn't have time for these kinds of games. Charms are deceiving.. what lies beneath.. what is tested over time and through trial of life's realities: that is what is real about a person. Until you've been through time and trials with another person, you will never see their true colors for what they are. A few grammatical and spelling errors, but you were in the flow of getting these feelings out of you.

Thank you for your nice review. I also am aware of the errors, I tend often to push the poems in raw rather then wasting my time to correct errors. Bad habits never die. LOL

It's good that you knew when to walk away. Some don't, and it's the worst thing in the world.
"Knowing in my heart I was true and you were just a fake."
I love this line. Amazing write; the rhythm was smooth and the imagery clear. Thanks for sharing.
