For what reason did you lie
Truth could hurt no more than this
To find all that you said untrue
I freely gave my heart to you
It was a gift you threw away
Deception was the game you played
For me it never was a game
I trusted you with all of me
I believed; but now I see
You're only an illusion

Thanks SEA...luckily for me, I'm not feeling this way just now (though I have, oh yeah)...but I wrote this for a good friend, cause she's going through it right now...and I know just how that feels.

We've all felt this at one time or another. Hope she does well.

Peppermint, well written. Illusions abound...one must be careful. Thanks for this.

This saddened me, I know what it feels like to believe in someone and find out you're dead wrong.

Thanks Sunshine, Kathleen, your kind words mean a lot to me

Yes, Mick, I sent it to her.  She says it's helping her put a period and move on.
