Bathed Lies

Bathed Lies

 

You’re blinded by her lies

Can’t tell truth from not

And you’re so loyal to her

She’s the only one you see

But while you see her

She’s looking elsewhere

Her eyes never quite touching yours

 

She gets away with it

Because you just don’t want to see it

To notice it

That’s your loss

Your fault

You can get someone who sees

Only you

Looks at

Only you

But you stick with her

 

You can’t handle the truth

So you mask the lies

Bathing them in ponds of truth

But aren’t you lying to yourself

By hiding the truth?

 

You deserve better

You can get better

What is it about her

That draws you?

 

You can’t change a player

You can’t change a flirt

You can bear with it

Bear with her

Ignore the fact that

While she’s with you

She’s just not

 

You can’t change her

But you can change the fact that

You’re wasting your time

With her

 

So flee

Run away

Cut her out

Because by keeping her around

You’re losing your ability

To separate the truth

From the lies

Author's Note

One of my readers wanted a poem about girls who cheat, considering I'm always writing about guys who cheat. (woops :P)

Enjoy!

I could have really used this poem a long time ago heh. Well done ;)

Well I have to admit that, thematically speaking, this is a refreshing change haha :P The voice is still unmistakingly yours though...your sense of rhythm and repetition are your trademarks, and they're both here in full force. Bravo Kels :)

Iiiiiiiiiiiii hate cheaters, this is a very good poem though. Cheating is terrible, like damn break up don't drag the other person around. Well done though I especially like the line where it talks about separating the lies,from the truth. Always a pleasure reading your work :)!

I dislike cheaters too haha. I think everyone does :P
I liked that stanza too.

Thanks for your review!

Honestly, and maybe this is just due to recent events but, I really flipping hate people that cheat. Isn't it easier to just end the relationship first? I mean come on! I think it'd be easier but maybe that's just me.

Anyhoo.... Great poem my dear! Seamless flow... rolls right off your tongue. Smooth but has a kick. Love!

[Destinyxi]

I agree. It's better to break it off rather than cheat. Hurts less for both parties.

Thank you! :)

Great poem! Makes me feel so lucky to have Someone like Maddie. But I did have a "girlfreind" who thought I was all of these things, but I found out later that she was really deflecting her guilt that she was cheating on me

[Destinyxi]

Eh, that musta been tough. I'm glad you found someone now though :)

[David the writer]

Yeah deflective people make me angry >:( rrrg, but yeah I'm glad I found someone else. But hay, the review was supposed to be about your good job on this poem. Grrrrrrrrrreat job!
