In the beginning
Things between us were great
The only problem I had
Was that you were always late

You spent so much time
Here by my side
Who would have guessed
That you frequently lied

Your arms around me
Your lips touching mine
Waking up beside me
Everything was fine

Who would have thought
That at some point in time
Everything would have gone bad
That you’d no longer be mine

We had our ups and downs
But some how we stuck together
Trying to make the best of the situation
I thought we’d last forever

But monogamy is a word
That you didn’t know
So because of your infidelity
I had to let you go

You did so much lying
And so much cheating
One time I’d understand
But it kept on repeating

You hurt me too many times
Not by coincidence
So now I have to stay away
I have to keep my distance

I asked you
If you were having fun
Sleeping with other women
You said “No you’re the only one”

On more than on occasion
You looked me straight in my eyes
Told me there was no one else
You kept telling me lies

The word truth
Is another to which you don’t know the meaning
You keep on lying to everyone
Not caring about their feelings

I used to believe you loved me
Now I don’t believe your love was true
I don’t think you know how to love
You don’t even have a clue

Steph,
sometimes the truth hurts, but it sounds like you are on your way to healing. Good poem

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
