Used

ya... not exactly pro but I kinda like it... Reminds me of an experience I had with a guy who said he loved me. Then i found out he had another girlfriend... Havn't talked to him since.

You used me.

I know you did.

I opened my heart,

But you kicked down the door.

You were beautiful,

And you knew it too.

Wielding your knives of grace and charm,

You made me believe

You wanted me,

In the same way that I wanted you.

You told me secrets,

You knew I'd never tell.

I trusted you with mine,

But you were not as true,

Leaving me,

In the night,

On my front porch,

You laughed as you walked away,

I cried.

 

 

You called me on the phone today,

But I didn't answer.

I hid behind the voice recorder

And I heard you say

That you needed me,

LOVED me.

You were sorry,

You said.

I know your not.

Again and again you call,

The phone's becoming weary.

I will not answer you.

Leave me alone!

Please.

 

Your voice crackled through the voice machine,

"Babe, I know you won't pick up,

I just wanted you to know,

I'll love you forever,

It's the truth,

And though it may sound crazy

'Cuz I hurt you so bad before,

I'm sorry, babe,

Just  thought you'd want to know.

I love you."

Liar.

Its hard to trust again when you have been batrayed. Its hard to think that the truth can ever really be uncovered when we have heard so many lies.
The best thing about this poem is that its relatable. Maybe not the same circumstances but the same betrayal behind it.
Just remember no guy is worth crying over. And i know how hard it is to forgive when we have been hurt. Just put yourself first. Cause no one else will.
Great write.
