Love Poem

I believed it when you told me

That you loved me and you care

But when I turned to you for comfort

I didn't see you there

I was reaching trying to hold

Onto something that wasn't true

I thought for sure you meant it

When you told me "I love you"

I realize now I was wrong

For believing what you said

I gave you all my heart

And now it's bleeding red

Because my feelings still are true

And all my love is all still there

I am angry and I am hurt

But, unfortunately, I still care

Does that make me crazy?

Perhaps you think I may be

But I saw the person you really are

Not this shell you want others to see

I know that you are hurt inside

And that you want that to go away

That you are afraid that it will happen again

So you don't want anyone to stay

I know that what you are doing

Must be tearing you apart

You are making up this façade

To protect your tattered heart

I am on other side of the wall now

Watching the vines grow tall

Weeping at the memories

Of when we had it all
