The truth about him....

i love going through my poetry...looking at where my mind might have been summer of 92 or where it just was May 2010...i wrote this poem in regards to the navy man i was dating...we had grown up together as kids..lost touch after highschool and reunited the summer of 2009...we corresponded from July 09 to May 2010 when he came home on leave....how wonderful it was to see him, visit, talk versus chat, and then it all stopped as suddendly as it began, he left without even a goodbye and blamed it a myraid of reasons why...none being the truth....i wrote this poem once i realized ...

The Truth about Him

The truth about him

Is that he’s just like the rest

Wolf in sheep’s clothing

I thought I knew best

Thought I could smell deceit

Brewing like winter’s stew

But his charisma and charm blinded me

So I never knew

The lies that he told

That lasted for months

The flowers, the cards, the forget me nots

All were fictitious

An elaborate scheme

To win my affection, capture my dream

A dream of forever that he never truly wanted

A borrowed misuse of my trust and emotion

Anger and hurt still burn in my chest

Like rods of steel coated with stress

Knife marks tainted in red

Flames of fire within

I’m so glad I now know

The truth about him……..
