Sour Grapes

I swallowed your syrup of sugared words
you sweetened them to perfection.
The bitter taste of emptiness
concealed in your confection.
I could have taken your deadly pill
What gave you the right to lie ?
Taking my all, then spitting it back
did you expect me not to cry ?
You should have ended it sooner
your honey masked words were a waste
For you left not a beautiful memory,
Just a bitter sweet aftertaste

Life can be cruel.  I pray this has not deterred you from finding your true love and soul mate?

"A spoon full of sugar, helps the medicine go down"
Unfortunatly, WHEN the sugar wears off, the bitter taste will come back to haunt you

June,
Many can relate to this. I'm looking for the one I wrote about the little lie that grew up. Liars only fall into their own traps and they make you take a look at them so that you see them for what they really are.
You are a sensitive writer (tender heart).
