~This is my first poem written in Dark Passions. I would appreciate any feedback please. Thanks!  

Betrayal
By: Amy M. Kennedy

You said that you cared, you said that you loved me
But your words are like a poison that threatens to take my very life
Your words are nothing but empty lies
The darkness surrounds me once again, as I scream out in pain
Why can't you just leave me alone, don't you know you've won
But you just keep hurting me over again and again
Your words were so cruel, your intentions even more so
As I sit here with tears running down my face
I try to make sense of it all, but the knife is too far into my heart
I tell myself that it was my fault, I shouldn't have believed you
I found myself falling deeper and deeper into the web of lies you created
You say that she meant nothing, it was only a joke, but I saw it with my own eyes
The truth can be ugly, in the light of the day
But now that I know, I will never again fall for your empty lies
You said that you cared, said that you loved me
But it was all in vain



 ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~

Welcome to the dark forum!!  This was a wonderful poem, you are showing your strength and wisdom here.  You go girl!!  And as JanetMarie said, sounds like he didn't deserve you anyways...    

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

 Slow Down, stop to smell the roses and stroll through the garden of life, it will be a more pleasurable experience.

having felt the same way as this poem expresses, i have two words for ya, "love bites". SOMETIMES!!  been there, done that, and i think ive come to a point where i dont have to dwell on it.  its a good point.  the only way to look at a situation such as this one, is to think to yourself that you deserve so much better.  and even though i dont know you, i know you deserve much better than that because everyone does.  thanks for sharing.

aimee

People that are of that nature (selfish and uncaring) seem to want someone in their lives they can hurt.  The smart ones leave before the hurting begins, the other ones (like me) are foolish enough to fall in love and stick around and for their reward they are hurt again and again.  You see these users and abusers can only hurt the ones who stick around for the hurt, the pain, and the abuse.   James

"The truth can be ugly, in the light of the day"  

Well it doesn't get said much clearer than that.  This one hits the nail on the head for sure.  Fits beautifully her in Dark too.  You are most welcome here, Amy.
