Can you see her?
This woman who hides
   her pain.
Can you see her?
Here beneath these
   smiling lips
Look closer and
   you'll find
A tear stained cheek
   a trembling lip
And a heart torn
   with grief
Shattered dreams and
   love betrayed
Confusion and pain her
   late night companions
Now he's not there
   to talk to
And why? Thats all
   she wants to know.
Why say I love you
   when you knew
You knew your heart
   lay elsewhere
In anothers arms
   in anothers eyes
Yet you said...
   ...I love you
And you wonder at
   her pain
Can you see her?
Do you see this
    woman
The one you betrayed
   with your lies?
Can you see her?

A liar only thinks of themselves..not of the others persons feelings..most of the time they are just cold blooded..jmho.. nicely written..

This broke my heart to read.  You did an excellent job of portraying the emotions and the feelings that would definitely be prevalant in a time like this.  Good work.

The shrill cords of a broken heart...the scorn of deception...effective writing, nicely done, Paula.

Paula~
The lies come easily for some -
the pain hard to get beyond for those who
are wounded by them.

You have heart and it will weather this
and find a truthful love.
*Hugs*, hon !

Paula,
Liars are the world's parasites to humans. They prey on people and inflict wounds so terrible, they are often responsible for the breakdown of society. We do not need them. So sorry to see the hurt.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)
