PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I felt dead once,
couldn't tell what way to go.

You made me feel,
made me believe in something.

Even if it was all lies,
it felt nice to feel something.

Now anything I felt before has gone,
replaced by a bitterness and resentment.

I thought I knew you,
but I was wrong,
I knew only a mask.

A fragment of who you were,
the you everyone else saw.

But now, I look at you,
in my mind, I know the truth.

I was foolish once,
believing you loved me;
but no, I was dead wrong.

It's funny how well you think you know someone,
yet when you really see who they are,
you cringe and know in your heart;
that you never did, only thought you had.

Be who you want to be,
I don't care anymore.

The one I thought I knew,
the one I'd loved, is long gone.
