He told me he was different....

by missy   May 8, 2007


You try to tell me that you're sorry
and that it's me you really love
but tell me~when you close your eyes
is it MY face you're dreaming of?

You speak to her about being "forever"
yet turn around to tell me the same
so when you think of lifetime love
does your heart scream out MY name?

You hold her and caress her
the exact same way that you do me
you whisper to her words of tenderness
yet say you and I are meant to be.

But I am no fool to take this
nor accept a second-hand rose
I'll walk away in bitterness
but remember it's what you chose.

And when it doesn't work with her
and second chances rarely do
don't expect me to be sitting still
impatiently waiting here for you!

    Missy this is probably so relatable to many of us and I know I can truly relate. Yes, we want love but to be a second guess or a bit on the side well, none of us deserve that But i guess sometimes it's all we have unfortunately for the care we need even of we know it isn't true. I like how you capitalise the 'my' it puts a real empathies' onto it.

    1: Sorry means nothing when it happens time and time again that he goes to her and tells her what he should be telling you. He will probably not dream of any of you because you cannot love two people, not truthfully anyway. Is the ~ meant to be there?

    2: I am vigorously shaking my head here... Walk away and don't look back.

    3: This is such a hard hitting stanza as its happened To me many times... "Oh I love you, we are forever" yet behind my back they are saying it to some other girl and what make sit worse is we believe it.

    4: I love the second hand rose line here because its like she has rejected him and his olive branch (rose) so he comes to you with his tail between his legs. Glad you chose to walk away because no one deserves this treatment.

    5: Love love love this!!!

    Fantastic unforced rhyming.

      Thank you for your comments on my poems. This was written so many years ago, and it WAS something I was experiencing. I have not written a single poem in 9 years, forgot all about posting on this site until recently...so many memories being brought back as I read my poems.
