A Different Side of Me

Guy's perspective of being cheated on

I loved you,
I loved you more than life itself,
I gave up everything for you...
the lies,
the games...
everything... for you
and this is how you repay me
by cheating on me!

You are my life's greatest treasure,
I don't want to see our rock of love
crumble into a simple piece of granite
I had the freedom to love you as I pleased,
but you took it away from me
and captured it in a hive... that can never be replaced
no matter how hard I try,

You're enslaving me in your whorish ways... making me one of "them"
I don't want to be that,
I just want to be with you
but I can't leave
the boundless attempts to break free from your bondage
is engulfing me...

Making me want to scream out loud "I HATE YOU!"
but I could never hate you,
and you know that...
because I love too much to ever despise you
for what you did, no matter how hard I try

You are my one true companion...
that I never want to lose

crumble into a simple piece of granite

I just really loved these words here,
I know half of these feelings quite so well.
Well written write.

you know, for some reason, we are completely loyal to the ones who use us

[lifesmith]

love means giving your heart to someone who might break it the hardest, yet trusting that they won't...

but sometimes no matter how much we love someone, or think that we do, we gotta love ourselves first

Loved these lines... Love the you hate is quite easy but hating the one you love is more like tearing your heart out... Good work...loved it..:)

Great job in meeting the challenge, Ta'shandra.
Men are often called "dogs." Seems like an improper appellation to me. Dogs are loyal.
Fine work, T!

Very interesting, not many people, girls in particular, look at cheating from a guys point of view. But you did ever so beautifully (:
