#1 Con-Artist

 

Excited for the future

Open to the chance

But I didn't see it coming

My sadly failed romance.

 

Promising and charming

His lying was an art

Love took me on a ride

Then he threw away my heart.

 

His mind so sharp and cunning

He tells me what I want to hear

And once he'd gotten what he wanted

His love did surely disappear.

 

I was kicked when I was down

He tore apart my soul

With his painful stabbing words

In my heart there is a whole.

 

As deceiving as he was

Still I didn't learn

My search for him continues

And still for Love I yearn.

 

I sit here boldly broken

As I watch the stars above

I was tricked and made a fool

By a con-artist named Love.

Great depiction of love.. and sadly a reality sometimes when things go awry.. and we feel cheated or used.. usually both feel it too. Great flow, rhythm and rhyme.. I believe in ending as friends.. though realiistically that does not always happen! Sometimes life goals and desires can change.. sad when things don't work out but that's life. I try to take the best of each relationship and worst .. turning everything into something positive.. sorry I did't waste my time..not a fool when you really think about it.. you are gaining experience! There still can be the occasional moment where I feel exactly what you have written.. then it passes.. seems each time you break up.. it gets easier! I hope you feel better if this was written from a real scenerio! Thank you so much for sharing!!! =)
