Facing the Truth of Your Lies

Back in September of 2004 --

A couple of months after

My short stay in the hospital

For severe depression --

I tried to contact you to see

If you still missed me,

As you rudely told me

To leave you alone,

That you were married

And had moved, had your

Last name changed to

Your new husband's

And were expecting

A brand new child.



Two years later I learn

The truth through none

Other than that fake "husband"

Of yours, who posted a message

In one of his hosting forums

Back in 2005 when he was 19

And you were 28.



And so I face the truth, that

You wanted me to face

So much -- the truth that

You were always lying

To me and to others

About who you really are --

An insecure and confused

Woman with two children

Without a real father.



No, you were never married

To that geek, who's so good

With computers, who

Drives around fixing other

People's technical problems,

Putting 8-9 hours each day

And not going to school,

To support you and your

Two kids, who are not even

His in a biological or

Legal sense.



For you two were "living in sin"

Together, as he puts it,

Being "disowned" by the

Majority of his family

And his manipulative

Mother, who was using

Him to get back at his father.



Well, it looks like he traded

His mother for a new one,

Who's just as manipulative

And conniving.



And I wonder what you do

When he's not around?

Do you stay at home and

Play a fake "good wife"?

Or do you explore new men

And new options?



Oh yes,

He calls you his fiancée now --

After two years of living together --

But knowing you, I wonder

If you really want to get

Married and miss a chance

That something better comes

Along?



Well, I wish you luck in

Your decision, but I

Just want to say that

I loved you even if I was

A fool to believe you.
