Lying Lover

by Michael D Nalley   Apr 17, 2008


You know you said you loved me
But we both know how you lie
A fool like me could not see
The real you would make me cry

Do you think you are smart?
For steeling everything from me
Before you broke my heart
Being as cruel as you could be

You never let me close to your emotion
For the fear that you would pay the cost
Much like a sailor avoiding the ocean
For the dread that he may get lost

I wish that I had not had the pleasure
Of the dream of what could have been
Holding on to the realties I treasure
And the peace of mind I had within

Since I have met you, you have cursed
Any chance at success I may have had
Of a true love sincerely unrehearsed
Not the games you play that drive me mad

Are you hurt so bad you want to pay it forward?
Does it give comfort to your mysterious dark soul?
Your spirit is bound to fall as you head shoreward
While your lack of trust in Love slowly takes its toll

    I absolutely love the meaning you put into this poem. it is very strong and flows nicely.

    i dont really feel much emotion comming out of it though. maby it is just me but it does not reach out to me.

    it ryhmed very well and had comparisons i have yet to see in poetry.

    it was very well written . 4/5
    i cant call it excellent because i didnt feel the emotion but it was a great read and if i could i would give it a 4.9 but it is not a choice. =)

    Oh my..... I can taste the venom from here... halfway across the world from you dear!!! Beautifully written, and controlled given the circumstances. I love the flow, and the determination of the true underlying plot as well as the careful choice of words as not to be too offensive or hurtful, simply heartfelt, and meaningful. I am encouraged to read more of them... not a norm for me... great work, best wishes! ~Anita
