the liar

well, i never lied

i never swore

i always held my breath

i changed everything i am for you

until theres nothing of me left

i gave up my friends

i gave up myself

and where did that get me

with a broken heart, waiting for you

how selfish can you be

youre gonna throw this all away

because you're too stubborn to hear the truth

you are wrong

im always here, im never gone

i stay here all day waiting for you to come home

i feel betrayed, full of disbelief

after everything ive done 

you cant see anything ive done for you

love isnt something you learn how to do

its a privelidge you earn from the one you want

i let you in, and you tore me down

im so numb i cant even feel my own heart

beating or not... inside of my chest

i know what is true and thats everything i did for you

i never spoke a lie, and you always make me cry

but why am i crying for someone who doesnt care

i deserve so much more than this

NOBODY deserves to be treated like this

so, if im the "liar" then what are you...

All the feelings, desire, need, hunger
climax in a terrible explosion of finality.
You have had it with this person and
when you finally made up your mind
it was a flaming storm.
Thank you for a wonderful and somewhat
frightful experience.

Very Alanis Morrisette, but without the pretense.

great feeling. i gave up my friends, i gave myself sums the sacrifice lost in the flushes of romance. well done.

I think this piece sums up the meaning behind, "The nice one's finish last." The poem expresses clearly the pain and frustration in having had life woven one way, yet come undone leaving one twirling around like a top. It leaves one at that point in life where the questions gain no answers and the answer's given are seldom true. A very well presented work of ink.

A emotional and well written poem. The word choice was excellent. The poem had some grammer errors, but that added to the poem. Made it seem like someone was really writing from the heart. Overall, a very good poem.
