You said you wanted to know me
So I opened up my soul
Showed you things about me
No one else knows

I bared it all to you
The happiness and pain
I had nothing left to lose
And everything to gain

And when you saw the truth
The face behind my mask
You said you'd stay by me
Showing me a love that would last

But today I watched as you
Gently kissed another
Never knowing I was standing there
You wrapped your arms around each other

So I stepped back in the shadows
Turned and walked away
The mask slides back into place
Hiding damage caused today

The next time that I see you
I'll try hard not to cry
And I'll do my best to stay strong
Through our final goodbye.



With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Broken_winged_angel,
Great Poem!!!!!! I loved every word of it.
I probably liked it because I felt alittle Dejas vous in there...

There's a difference between knowing a path and walking that path....

bwangel...wow..this is really a sad one--can feel the anguish..well written i must say..
its hard to bare your soul sometimes, aye.. and when the trust is gone, it often takes even longer the next time to trust..if this is a now and true event, i'm hoping for you that things look up soon  

hugs, dg

Wow.  As I read this poem, butterflies swarmed in my stomach.....I went through the same exact thing.  I don't let anyone close to me...and if I do, it takes a lot.  My last love who I gave my heart to did the same thing to me...except worse and now the product is 5 months old.  I feel so sorry for anyone who has ever had to go through such a terrible thing.  As my mom always says "Time Heals".......beth

LonelyPoet...Thankyou very much...It's a feeling that I wish no one would ever put another through, but some of us simple humans don't seem to be that compassionate.

dgvarner...It's not a now event, but it is true...A man I gave everything to cheated on me a while ago, and yes, it was more than just a kiss...Anyhow, we met again and he wants to re-kindle our relationship.  I thought maybe writing this would explain to him a little better why I'm so hesitant..Thankyou..

Lady Lost...Thankyou very much...Your moms' a smart woman..  

dsynder...Thankyou...Your words mean a lot.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

May the mask be dropped and broken into a million pieces so you may have to never wear it again!
You've expressed yourself well BWA!

Extremely good..Brings back to many memories of the day of getting dumped. Pulls at the heart strings.

p*s~)masks are so untrue, and although you think they shelter you, often, they end up hurting more than healing.
