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

Very powerful, I can feel the anger and confusion in your words.
And I gotta say you used the words very well.

Great poem! It's hard to write a poem using those words, yet you did it very well. I especially liked the lines 'You are my one true companion.../that I never want to lose'. Good job!
