That January Night

by Tara   Nov 4, 2003


"Do you love me?"
Was the first line you used
The day you asked the question
When my feelings you abused.

Second you asked if I would
Spend my life with you
Of course I said yes,
My feelings were true.

When you gave me the ring
Your lies I did not see
So I kissed you as you said,
"Will you marry me?"

These three lines
I shall never forget,
But as for love,
I must now quit.

Each word you said that night
Was just another lie,
I made my life around you
Alone now, I only cry.

Even though that night still hurts
And haunts my memory,
These tears are all that's left now
Of what was you and me.

((True story.....January, 2001 my high school sweetheart proposed to me. At the time I didn't know that he was sleeping with someone else before AND after this...))
