Trusting Your Dishonesty

by Cara   Jan 27, 2009


A look of deceit in your eyes, but a smile on your face
A promise from your lips, but from your heart? A disgrace
Sweet words of apparent truth spill from your soul
But do I believe you? No, that's out of your control

See, I've become accustomed to your fake truth and lies
No longer do you hold my trust, it's you who I despise
What must you think of me, to believe I would be so naive?
With all your dishonesty, what do you wish to achieve?

For far too long I turned a blind eye and handed you my trust
But not anymore my friend, it's time for me to readjust
My forgiveness is something you won't get to feel anymore
Giving into you constantly, proved to be my biggest flaw

I found my inner strength and no longer do I need to pretend
I'm moving forward and on you, no longer do I need to depend
You didn't think that I would stand up for myself, did you?
But I have, I did and my departure, is long overdue

    Wow Cara Wow! I am very very impressed by this. This was one of the most strong and flawless poems I have read. I am glad you got over that guy! Through your rhymes you really expressed how it feels to be inlove with something fake but then to get to the point of realization that you can definately live withouth that fake forever. Take Care 5/5

    This is very well penned, you can feel the anger coming out in these words, Cara :].
    I don't think you need 'see' though on the first line of the second stanza, but that's just me :)

    'For far too long I turned a blind eye and handed you my trust
    But not anymore my friend, it's time for me to readjust'

    By far the best couplet in the poem, I liked the honesty and the feelings you embedded into the poem were very striking indeed. A strong ending too, finishing with a moderately optimistic outlook following the emotional precedings is a good ending, doesn't make the reader feel like there's no resolve. Great poem
