I don't know you
I thought I did
I'd danced your
shadow
in a rosy hue
of mystic happiness

I had my ears tickled
with the sweetness
of your words
Tolerance, mistaken
for interest
pity, mistaken
for love
the blame,
is mine alone
so,
I embrace it
with one important
lesson learned...
never hand one
the tools to kill me
again...

someone once told me that love is being able to hand the one you love a knife and then walk away. . . this illustrates that perfectly... .

excellent Tier. . .

I would title this 'Smarter Now'...I hope you aren't jaded by the experience. This is a marvelous poem!

Your words cut as sharp as any knife, Tiers.
Excellent work.

Sven, no truer words have been spoken! Thank you for your kind comments! *smiles*

Poet De Vine, Catchy title, I will consider it. However, I really did feel Jaded at the time that I wrote this poem. I honestly didn't think I could trust anyone again. Thanks for commenting, I truly appreciate it.

Coyote, I don't think the person about whom these words were written has ever laid eyes upon it.  Thank you for commenting.

*smiles*

It sounded as though you wrote this with tears in your eyes, pain in your heart and anger in your spirit...I can tell because I was able to feel all of those emotions as I read it.  
I hope all is well now...
