Love and Lies (A Poem)

[rubygrrl]

This is just a poem, that portrays how I feel about the ed at the moment. Not very good though, as I am no writer - never have been, never will!

Love and Lies

You told me you would help me
You told me you would never leave me
You told me that I would feel no hurt
Just as long as you were here

So why do I hurt so?
Why does it feel that I'm carrying
Such a burden on my shoulders?

You told me that you loved me
You told me that no one could love me
As you do
So why does it hurt so?

If this is love
I know I don't want it
But do not know
How else to survive

I want you gone
I want you out
But I am scared

Despite the abuse
You have been a comfort
Despite the hurt
Despite the lies
You have always been my crutch

I want you gone
I want you here
Oh, such a dilemma I am in
Do I want you, or not?

I really think that is so beautiful! No one has to be Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman to be a great poet! Thank you so much for sharing! I love the end - I saw Tina Turner's movie 'what's love got to do with it' - she is truly amazing.
