ILLUSIONS

Do not say that you love me

When we both know the words are hollow

And are certain of what is to follow:

Deep wrenching and searing hurt

That will pitch camp in my heart.

Do not say that you feel safe

While you are wrapped in my arms

Knowing that you will cause me harm-

Because I left my heart open-

And my wounds you chose to deepen.

Do not say that you need me

Or paint illusions to blind me

I have seen love in all its confusion

And suffered from its disillusion

Learning that words are just words

Do not say those words to me

“ That  you will never let me go”

“ That you will pick me up when I am low”

That you will never hurt me

That you never wish to lose me

Do not say I am the best

When we both  know I am the worst

Do  not make me promises you will break

For those I no longer take

If you say you love me,

Let time tell the truth

Let it show what your heart holds

But do not paint me illusions,

I am tired of them

decieved

I had some time
And a long way to go
When you
Came up with a solution,
Said you would help,
Said it would work.
ha! if only.

You had a slik tongue
From which lies
slithered and snaked
making promises
You Knew you would break
And misled me
through the dark
dreary depths of falsehood

You were a hero-
Supposed to be;
But you were the villian
that savaged hope;
 you decieved us
you marvelous, magnificent liar.
