Blatant Lie Falling into the wrath of darkness I cry out for help It falls upon deaf ears And I drown myself back into my endless stream of tears The one I thought I knew so well Seems I hardly know at all Stating she needs help I suppose that makes every action she does okay Only it's not okay The pain almost unbearable As it threatens to consume The very essence of who I am How could you lie to me-- You who preaches about the importance of trust Telling me how much you've been hurt in your life Now the knife has been stabbed in my back You want to work things out All I can do is stare at the wall Wishing for a brighter tomorrow Praying that somewhere inside of me there lives hope As a small flicker of light Shines within the walls of my soul I close my eyes and turn my eyes heaven-bound Tears quenching the thirsty need of my soul But even the flowing tears from my eyes Serve only to remind me of the pain I feel But then I realize I do still feel Thinking well that is something The sun begins to set As it gets darker outside I lay my weary head down on the pillow After a long struggle, sleep overcomes me Amy M.

Amy, This poem nearly broke my heart. you've simply forgotten what it means to be in love. Remeber the good times dearheart and stay or move on. All things come to pass, nothing comes to stay. Write out the pain and love remains write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

you've expressed the pain and heartache well and the horrible dissapointment of being lied to.... i am dealing with trust issues myself and don't know how to overcome them..... thank you for this poem... if you figure out how to trust again and how to forgive those who lied, let me know.... i've been working on this for many years..... it's only been recently that i decided to TRY to trust ANYBODY..... and i'm not so sure i'm doing it right... *sigh* |

But to one person, you may be the world. |

I agree with Sven. It is so hard.......You've expressed this wonderfully. The turmoil, the confusion, the heartache. Is wonderful to read your writing again.  To capture and live a moment is truly living |
