I am strong
I don't need you in my life
you hurt me
and I stopped loving you
for that ache
you created
so deep in me


I shut off my heart to you
completely
without once looking back
no dreams of you
no memories of you either


it was so easy
I can barely remember
what you look like
sound like
feel like


I don't miss you
I never cry
hearing that song
doesn't trigger
a tidal wave
of emotions
I have none
when it comes
to you

I hate liars. Once I know someone has lied to me, I never completely trust them again.
I'm sure this isn't about you, you deserve the best!

Did anyone ever tell you..your a beautiful liar ...
(poetically speaking of course)
got the full message of this one Sea-girlie...
Some times all we can do it lie to our selves to heal...
well done poetess of heart.

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

how do you DO that? i don't know, but i think that if i got that angry and cut someone who i had loved out of my life because i'd gotten hurt, i'd probably end up an old jaded, angry lady for the rest of my life and never be able to open up again

how do you DO That? the poem was quite strong.... very angry.... very full of hurt and i admire a person who can write about such disturbing emotions...

but.... i don't know how to do that.....sometimes i have needed to and still wasn't able to....

thanks for the read and for your thought provoking work

Sunshine~ I wish I had enough.........

Parker~ It is, but not that way....I'll take a hug from you any day thank you

Kathleen~I too, don't care for liars, but in this case, the liar, is me. I'm lying to myself

Janet~ thank you so much for getting this.....yes, I've been lying to myself lately....trying not to miss an old friend.

PK~ I think you did too thank you

Doreen~ I react emotionally first, logically second.....always have, always will....
I didn't want this person cut from my life......it wasn't my choice and I'm still hurting, and trying to heal......but yes, I have actually cut only one person out of my life like this....my ex....and that was easy, when someone beats you, cutting them out is the only choice. I'd like to see you write angry. I bet it'd be good.

Oh, I could feel that emotion coming through these lines SEA ... very well written! It's so hard to make our hearts take heed of the words sometimes...

Best wishes (and more {{{hugs}}} ),

sea- LOL ... just read your comment back to me... you haven't seen ME write ANGRY? hehe... well... ummm... i do that a lot!!!!!.... rofl..... anyway.... yeah.... i react the same way... emotionally first... it's a battle, but ain't it fun? .... just trying to stay soft before the jaded sets in again.... i've been called the "angst queen"..... you're doing well with following in my footsteps with this one.... i think i'd rather write the Love, though, even if it bounces off walls... what i MEANT was...

i don't know how to write the anger... right now...*sigh*....

just thought i'd come back and tell you again how good this one was ...... and respond to your comment to me   thanks for the read

I've lied so often to myself
Believed the lies of others
Until every hope was gone
And belief in me was smothered
They say we do what's necessary
Just so we can get through
I wish you days of happiness
Where you can shine in truth.

Okay... so I got a bit carried away. *G* But I do relate... and you did do great! *G* Okay, okay... I'm going, I'm going... hush suthern! LOL
