I played the part you wanted of me I shed those tears that you now see manipulated, weak, a pawn am I? Do you believe in the tears I cry? Your reputation preceded you Warned, I knew just what to do I used you as you used me don’t believe everything you see I saw the secret smile on your face as you prepared to leave my place satisfied you’d inflicted pain knowing you would do it again Powerless to stop your game I let you think I had no shame but in my heart, I cared no more for you than for my bedroom door. |

Hi Sharon, Wow, I've Played the part, faking it is so very hard, I don't hide my feelings well there always out there, once again your wisdom shows so very much. Truely heart felt and I loved it, thank you. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

So very well written!!!!!! But, to me there is an underlying sense of frustration, almost stubborn the way you reassure yourself, you couldn't care less. -Very difficult after being touched (and hurt!) so deep inside. And, after all, the bedroom door is quite a meaningful entrance to intimate secrets. Is it really shut? A very strong message, indeed, I think, it has arrived. Bee. |

Thank you all for your kind words. This poem was written from a phrase that someone challenged me with. I'm so glad you felt it the way I did. Thank you. |

PDV, This was such a good act, I couldn't tell it from the real thing and I lived it with you. Write on Kethry Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |
