A Hundred Times and Still More Fell Beneath

When love only goes one way.

I cried and cried a hundred times and still more fell beneath.

I thought my pain was gone and yet it has increased.
The pain you gave to me has only made me see.
All the love you gave to me was a lie.

Illusions are our fantasies and hopes and dreams combined.
I thought you were my savior, maybe my Christ.
I was living in a fantasy now I see the sun.
All the love you gave to me was a lie.

Sweet talking men always get the brides.
One by one they pick them off.
Desperate girls meet desperate guys.
Pretty words and cloudy lies.
Fantasy is fine in till the clouds roll by.
In till reality tells you it's too late.

I cried and cried and tears fell down.
I thought they'd never stop.
The love I saw between us,

Shattered in the dust.

All that I had hoped and dreamed
Caught between the lies of shame.
As the walls of trust shattered in the dust.

I cried and cried a hundred times and still more fell beneath.
I thought my pain was gone and yet it has increased.
The pain you gave to me,

Has only made me see.
All the love you gave to me,

Were lies.

A poem which almost every person can relate. The way you put that into perspective was impeccable. Well done and I'm looking forward to your next works!

A line smaller than thin is what exists between fantasy and reality. Your hurt was evident in your words, giving the poem feeling, good job and I hope you never give up on love. Remember; it is never in the receiving, it exists solely in the giving.

desperate women meet desperate guys,you fall for his lies because that`s what desperate women want to hear,sadly most men are looking for sex,and they will say what ever..then the desperate women fall in love
then they start making demands and the men cut out,party over..there should be a rule no sex for six weeks
if he stays,then you may have something

When true love become lies. Break our heart forever.
"All the love you gave to me,
Were lies."
A lot of emotion led to sad and realistic ending. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Evan though the topic might be sad at the same time I can feel this one comes from your heart. It is beautiful in its own way.
