1/6 FOB

TITLE: Dead On Arrival
BY: SarahDale

As my heart then ripped by a sudden change of stare
Glares revealing reality along the edge of despair
Confusion heightened, shattered truth I cannot ignore
His hands entangled with yours, cold tears flow for more
Raised the pain so deeply, lost in hearts pieces I declare

Memories that have come to past, you don't bother to care
Those sweet kisses of love in the dark, finger tips on your hair
Preceding the altar, pledged to live life together forevermore
As my heart then ripped

Void road I'll stroll, to the seen reality I'm now aware
Memories will be buried, will remain forgotten, I swear
Pictures soon to be scattered and torn along our floor
Smokescreen of distrust will glide as you open our door
Leaving promises rotten and broken, suspicion to wear
As my heart then ripped

Rondeau
A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a
sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a
refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the
same metrical length).

Don't forget everyone, new deadline is Febuary =)

When I said I Loved You, I Swear I Lied.

When I first met you,
I could never have known
That I would feel this way -
That I could now feel this alone.

When we first got together
And you held me so tight,
I could never have guessed
How lonely I'd be tonight.

And when you first kissed me,
Pressed your lips against mine,
I never realised
That I'd never again find a love so kind.

But when I said I loved you,
I swear I lied.
Love could never explain
This pain I feel inside.

I swear I lied.
What else could I do?
You no longer wanted me -
You said we were through.

I thought I could make you stay
With that one simple phrase.
Thought I could keep you with me
For a couple more days.

But I don't feel
As I did a couple of days before -
I don't love you.
No, I don't love you anymore.

I Wrote This for You

This is just a short poem,
A little note
That I wrote just for you.

I want to tell you
Just how I feel;
How you make me feel;
How I'm hurting;
How I'm dying.
I need you in my life,
But yet you are the one
Who causes all this heartache.

But how can this be?
I cannot live with you,
But I will be sure to die
If I spend one more day
Without you...

When I Said I Loved You, I Swear I Lied

When I told you I was falling for you
You bought so easily into my lies
You never once doubted my feelings
Or saw the hatred concealed in my eyes

When I told you I cared for you
Your stupid ego was far to big to see
That I was lying right through my teeth
For you, I was planning endless misery

When I kissed you softly on the lips
Never once did you seem to believe
That I was messing with your heart
And sweetheart, you were so naive

When I nestled into your embrace
Thought you again controlled my heart
Never questioning if I was being true
Oblivious that I wanted to tear you apart

When I whispered those three little words
You bought so easily into my false disguise
Never guessed everything was about revenge
Here's the truth...everything I said was lies.
