Can you see her? This woman who hides her pain. Can you see her? Here beneath these smiling lips Look closer and you'll find A tear stained cheek a trembling lip And a heart torn with grief Shattered dreams and love betrayed Confusion and pain her late night companions Now he's not there to talk to And why? Thats all she wants to know. Why say I love you when you knew You knew your heart lay elsewhere In anothers arms in anothers eyes Yet you said... ...I love you And you wonder at her pain Can you see her? Do you see this woman The one you betrayed with your lies? Can you see her? [This message has been edited by Paula Finn (edited 10-13-2000).] |

A liar only thinks of themselves..not of the others persons feelings..most of the time they are just cold blooded..jmho.. nicely written.. ~Victoria~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

Paula~ The lies come easily for some - the pain hard to get beyond for those who are wounded by them. You have heart and it will weather this and find a truthful love. *Hugs*, hon ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Paula, Liars are the world's parasites to humans. They prey on people and inflict wounds so terrible, they are often responsible for the breakdown of society. We do not need them. So sorry to see the hurt. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
