the liar

the liar

A Poem by Megan E Twenter

well, i never lied
i never swore
i always held my breath

i changed everything i am for you
until theres nothing of me left

i gave up my friends
i gave up myself
and where did that get me

with a broken heart, waiting for you
how selfish can you be

youre gonna throw this all away
because you're too stubborn to hear the truth
you are wrong

im always here, im never gone
i stay here all day waiting for you to come home

i feel betrayed, full of disbelief
after everything ive done 
you cant see anything ive done for you

love isnt something you learn how to do
its a privelidge you earn from the one you want

i let you in, and you tore me down
im so numb i cant even feel my own heart
beating or not... inside of my chest

i know what is true and thats everything i did for you
i never spoke a lie, and you always make me cry

but why am i crying for someone who doesnt care
i deserve so much more than this
NOBODY deserves to be treated like this

so, if im the "liar" then what are you...

All the feelings, desire, need, hunger
climax in a terrible explosion of finality.
You have had it with this person and
when you finally made up your mind
it was a flaming storm.
Thank you for a wonderful and somewhat
frightful experience.

Very Alanis Morrisette, but without the pretense.

I think this piece sums up the meaning behind, "The nice one's finish last." The poem expresses clearly the pain and frustration in having had life woven one way, yet come undone leaving one twirling around like a top. It leaves one at that point in life where the questions gain no answers and the answer's given are seldom true. A very well presented work of ink.

A emotional and well written poem. The word choice was excellent. The poem had some grammer errors, but that added to the poem. Made it seem like someone was really writing from the heart. Overall, a very good poem.
