What was meant to be has proved evasive,
Hiding behind a shimmering web of lies,
Thought you my destiny,
Now, mere illusion.

You're so cold,
Stony eyes say it all.
Were you always this way?
You cackle as harsh words escape.

A person I so trusted,
I'll now hate you till the end,
You abused my friendly mannner,
You threw it all away.

I lost myself in who I thought you were,
Naive even after it fell apart.
I must leave you now,
Lifting this heavy fog from my life.

Wow... i would not want to be THAT person!  If i were you, i would show him/her this.  Maybe s/he can turn him/herself around for you.
This was a great poem.  Keep them up!  Teen Poetry#4 needs us!

A truly powerful poem, and it seems you would be much better off without that person and I'm glad you realise that.

I really like the way you allude to nature, bringing us back to the earth, whether it was intentional or not...(WEB of lies, STONY eyes, HEAVY FOG)  This is a great situation to write about, a terrible situation to be in.  I hope you're keeping your chin up!  I'm glad you realize that you deserve better!  Keep smiling and writing!

bright eyes pointed out exactly what struck me hard...
i really enjoyed this, even though it is hurtful towards you
allan shows some intellect in telling you to show this to them...
best wishes

This was really good, I thought it was interesting because of the title. I read it and I expected it to be a happy poem, but it wasn't and I like that twist. Great job.

This was a nice poem. I hope to see you post more.........

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Yes, powerful words as they said, I think this is written very well.

They already said it all but it can't hurt to repeat it.  This was a great poem, very powerful, a great read.  Sorry to see that so many of your poems are about betrayal.  Hope to see more from you.

Thanks everbody. Yeah, most of my poems are about betrayal, however it's only about one or two specific people, I don't have a bunch of bad eggs around me. But when things like this happen, making art come from hellish feelings is the ray of light, ya know. At least I can say I learned, and I got something from it. Thanks again.

i totally agree with Allan
communication does help a lot
and a lack of this is what causes people to assume and end up fighting
do give him/her this poem
they should understand exactly how you feel
great job on this one
