Bernie

While we were nibbling on each other's necks,

seeing ourselves through each other's eyes,

playing with each other's toes...

I choose to believe that it was all true.

Those soulful moments, cautious glances,

hesitations too, they got me through.

Through all the unfulfilled dreams,

angry screams, and the loosened seams, of you

But, you knew, all the while you knew.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

You knew.

Sometimes the heart sees only what it wants. I like this poem though.

The ending to me signifies that "he knew it was not true". For another it may mean that "he knew it was". That is what is great about writing poetry. In this particular poem the reader chooses it's ending and makes it their own. Didi

Hi there... indeed resemblances of my poem Manipulating Me. the 2 words are very strong in voice..and deep in conviction that distrust was evident in the romance. Great writing, Geneva.. thanxs for the recommendation.

You were right it does have some aspects of it that is the same as the poem I wrote. I really like this one. You did a very good job of putting the reader right there where you were. Thank you for such an enjoyable poem. Keep up the good work.
