He asked me today,
what makes me be,
someone so far away.

He asked me today,
why I am so close,
yet the distance is great.

He asked me today,
if I loved him,
I said of course I do.

He doesn't believe me,
I can see it in his eyes,
he doesn't believe anything
he can't believe my lies.

He asked me today,
if it was because of you,
that I can't give him my whole heart.

He asked me today,
if you were the one,
I dreamed about at night.

He asked me today,
if i still loved you,
I said not in the least.

He doesn't belive me,
I can see it in his eyes,
he doesn't belive anything
he can't believe my lies.

He asked me today,
if when I'm with him,
am I thinking of you.

He asked me today,
if my heart is with him,
or if it's with you.

He asked me today,
if I want to be with him forever,
I said I think I do.

He doesn't believe me,
I can see it in his eyes
he doesn't belive anything
he can't believe my lies.

It's been a while since I've read something and FELT it......this one I did, I kept
reading along wondering what the ending
would be.....not what I expected  
great writing~

BDC:  If my poetry touches only one person then I have done what I meant to do.  I am glad you felt this, it's a hardship when you are stuck between an old love and a new one, not willing to give up the love for the old and not willing to throw away the new...
thank you for reading
