You came to me again tonight
Creeping silently into my dreams
Black tears streaked my cheeks
Things aren't always what they seem

You spoke all the right words
Knew just how to hold my hand
Treated me like a woman should be
You were a prince from distant lands

I gave my all to keep you true
You only had to speak my name
With the whispered words of love
How was I to know it was just a game?

You used me like a childs toy
Then tossed me carelessly aside
My heart shattered with pain so great
I thought for sure I was going to die

People aren't objects meant for your pleasure
Someday soon this lesson I hope you learn
Put away your book of matches
Before you see how it feels to get burned

Too late for you, I've seen your new conquest
You've said she's the woman of your dreams
But she plays the same game you did
Things aren't always what they seem.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Nice twist at the end of this!     You might say it's poetic justice!

This one made me sad to think of myself in that same situation once a long time ago. Even if revenge is sweet, it feels awful anyway...

Oh wow... I guess when I was writing this, I didn't even think of revenge..Hmm.. It's odd how everyone sees something different in the written words...

Jon - Thankyou

Marge - I'm glad you enjoyed them..  

Kcsgrandma - That's true.. thankyou.

Debbie - bittersweet and honest.. thankyou.
