When I used to know you,
you were a kind soul.
You smiled at me sweetly,
you called all the time.

I thought you were shy,
and incredibly sincere.
Your attitude rarely wavered,
from the shining essence you radiated.

Now, when we speak, you've changed.
Honeymoon period ended?
Ahhh, the truth comes forth!
This has always been the real you, huh?

You've taken this too far.
Now you've gone and done it!
You're toying with my head,
you're playing with fire.

Shame on you for hurting me!
Shame on me for not running away from you.
You played with my heart,
and now you're after my friends.

We've talked about you,
and your sneaky little game.
You've got to be the dumbest creature,
to believe we wouldn't catch on.

This is dedicated to you,
the one I thought was perfect.
The one who would have "never" hurt me.
Now we'll show you how to really play this game.

Jenn-
   it hurts when you find out that
   someone isn't who you thought they were...
   especially when it's someone you care
   deeply about.
   you've done a very good job of making
   your feelings known here...

Things aren't always as they appear at first, are they? I'm just glad that you realized that before you got really attached to this person. Like you said, you live and learn. I'm glad that you've learned from this. You describe your feelings very well in this piece. Thanks for sharing.

The way you descibed this guy, he sounds like such a jerk.  Some people are just dumb!  It's good you figured this out, and good poem!

He's not very nice, I'll give you that.   But I was the dumb one, I kept dealing with it. If a person doesn't like you for who you are, and they don't want to give you their all, then they aren't worth it. It certainly doesn't help in the self-esteem department.   Thank you both for reading and replying.

I know how hard it is to see someone that means so much to you end up to be the opposite of what you'd actually made him to be.  Just don't play the game like he did you.  Don't stoop down to his level.  thanks for the read

This poem was really powerful. Reading this poem brought back some unpleasent memories.
I know how it feels to be played and see how they "truly" are. It sucks I know. Hope that things get better for you. Keep writing!!

Wow.... dun dun dun, back from the dead!   hehehe thanks for the replies guys! Ummmm, to catch ya'll up on the sitch, I stopped talking to him, out of self-respect, then he kept trying to AIM me, I usually respond it's my "glutton for punishment" reflex. But after my friends and I had figured him out, one of them, my "best" friend, decided he was still cool with her, and it's time to develop a close kinship with him.   I think that's uncool, and now we have this wedge driven between us. This guy sux.... but my friend is allowing him to be more important. Oh well, guess I figured out who my real friends are. Thanks again guys!
