You've made me feel so gullible
With all your little lies
You've hurt me more than you can know
You've made me despise
I thought that I could trust you
When all along you knew
So many things you said were lies
You were so untrue
I have been humiliated
I said, "He'd never lie to me!"
My best friends tried to tell me
But I just wouldn't see
I got mad at them
And pushed them away
I defended you
Still you lied anyway
I thought what we had
Was honest and true
I tried to be perfect
I never once lied to you
"He's honest with me,
So I'll do the same for him."
I lived by that rule
By that stupid little whim
Now I'm mad at myself
For giving you my heart
All you ever did
Was tear it apart

Unfortunately, the trust we extend to some people is not deserved.  Sometimes you have to have a balance between trusting in the honesty of others and protecting your hourself from those that would decieve.
Your poem is well written.  I like the rhyme you used. Maybe the best lesson coming from your poem is that, with love, there are no rules.
Nice work.

I'd sure like to see more people respond to this poem.  There is a message here that would be good for many out there to read who have been deceived and lied to when it comes to love.
So, i'm sending this one back to the top.
