Mirrored Lies

I found myself outside myself

in the middle of a silent scream

where black is white

up is down

and you,

are nothing but lies

I told myself 

this could never happen to me

for I was far too advanced

to be dissuaded by deceit

lackadaisical linguistics ran right through 

and captured our dreams of forever

and always,

there could never be another

for we had found our other half

all we had to do now

was believe.

my first mistake...

When we learn the person we loved are liars. Brake our heart. Sometime our heart is too hopeful,the love can be a blessed place. Thank you Alisa for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thank you CP,

It is indeed a heart breaker when we find out that what we thought was, never existed in the first place. And you wonder, how in the world did we get fooled again?

Thank you for stopping by.

[Hi]

Interesting contrast in being lost (black is white) but the deceit was a certainty.

What I hear is "I may not know exactly where I am, but I know where you're coming from."

"lackadaisical linguistics" Good wordplay.

The first mistake is to trust others.... somehow...end of the day we just don't think they will break it... or maybe we never find that correct person...and all our bets are on the wrong ones... :)

it's the age old scenario...we think we are smarter than we were...but then we do the same old things that we "did"---again and again...we learn, but never learn.

Hello J,

As a romantic soul, it seems each time is the right time... even when all things point to , "NO!"

lol

I think a romantic heart is an optimistic heart... don't you? Always looking at all the possibilities, just beyond the rainbow!

lol

Wishing you well.

I'll be by soon,

I like the ominous tone in which this ends. It leaves an anxiety hanging at the end of the poem. I'm not sure if you meant to do this, but it was masterfully done :-)

Was there something specific that inspired this poem? I'm always curious to know.

Great job!

Thanks Yari,

Yes, to answer your question, this was inspired by a real life event as most of my work is.

I will be by soon.

That's very interesting to know. A lot of people do a mix of fiction and/or nonfiction in their poetry, so when a poem moves me, I often like to ask.

Hope you have a wonderful day!
