PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I admired you from afar

I loved you forever

I had my heart set on you

Then one day you told me you loved me

I believed you

And once we got so far, we couldn't turn back.

You broke my heart.

You lied.

You took my pride and shoved it down my throat.

I choked on your love.

You poisoned me.

You killed my love, my spirit.

Now as I look in the mirror

I see the red scars from your love

Or, what I thought was love.

How could you         me so?

I thought you loved me,

I thought you cared.

I thought you would always be there when I needed you.

But I guess I thought wrong.

My life has since been trashed, chopped up, spit on and frowned upon.

Look at what you did to me--don't you care?

If you don't, that's one more soul you killed by your scarring love.

Or, what I thought was love.
