I Was Wrong

There are some people in this world that would try to sell your soul for a potato chip if they could.

I Was Wrong

Like a moth to the flame

Watching my wings burn

From lies told from sweet lips

Unable to discern

A mountain of letters

No longer your concern

I have to wonder in late hour of night

What happened to all of the light

Your voice of passion and grace

Hidden from me now with guilt and disgrace

We spoke of words

We talked about love

We even regarded who we believe

Watches over us from above

When my life was in peril

It was truth you let sing

One version of you was free

The other wore a ring

No

It was not love you sought

You wanted attention that you lack

A rent-a-hero you bought

I shared more with you than I would with any other

And when I stepped up to save you from your own fate

It was I who was lit ablaze in a pain you couldn’t even fathom

Yet I am somehow the villain

I was wrong

About what was true

No matter how much I wish to deny

The siren that is you

May God have mercy on your souls

For the atrocities you bestowed upon me

Don’t bother to ask if I care

If you both sink deep into the sea

Of all the lies and secrets you kept behind lock and key

Of all the twisted games you played with me

Never will you admit what you did was wrong

Instead you’ll continue to sing the same song

Until another victim dog-paddles along

As for me

I have washed ashore

No more of myself for you

Nothing left to abhor

I live to fight another day

What more is there to say

Thank the Gods I know better

Than to ever believe another letter

That you may consider to write

Don’t bother

Because I found the light

I really like this poem it reminds me of the hurt and pain of be-trail and the evil behind every good person.
Good Job!

Hey, thank you for the review. I wrote this poem with a lot of pain in the mix. I have mixed feelings about how some things turned out, and this was the more angry side of it. Thanks for stopping by!
