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

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,

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

Oh how I know so many can relate to this. You can become a whole different person when another person shatters your world. Tremendous job :)

This is really interesting. We always see a girl's point of view on being cheated on, but never a guy's. Really good.
