Learning A Lesson

This is about a true break up between my ex fiance and I.

You signed every card "Love Always", but that was just a lie.

You said my ex wasn't a real man because he made me cry.

 

You wrote "I love you, I need you, I crave you".

Told me I was perfect in everything I do.

 

You said you'd spent your life looking for me, the one you dreamed of.

The first letter you wrote me said I was "your angel from above"

 

The first time we kissed, you swept me off my feet.

You were always so perfect, loving, kind, and sweet.

 

You took me away from my family, erased all my pain.

Made me belive with you, I had nothing to lose, and a whole new world to gain.

 

On July seventh, you proposed, down on bended knee.

Knowing all along, to my heart, you had the only key.

 

You know I loved you truely and I would love you still.

But you left me all alone with wounds that wouldn't heal.

 

I have a broken heart that nothing seems to mend,

And I cry a river of tears that clearly has no end.

 

I hear out song "I cross my heart and promise to...."

But all I ever got was dreams and broken promises from you.

 

So the next time you can't sleep and I'm on your mind,

Remember all the times you hurt me and you too will learn in time.

Author's Note

Please keep in mind that I was 19 at the time so it may sound a little "teeny". We had been engaged for 8 months and I came home one day from work to find everything in the house gone, no explanation, no goodbyes.

awww.... I love the way you write straight from the heart, through your words I can feel your pain. I write to get it out and it helps so much. Best of luck to you and please keep blessing us with your writing! (-:

I really love this, its breaks my heart reading the transition between being so in love and trusting to deserted. I am 19, and I would be totally devastated if this happened to me. Also, I dont think it sounds "teeny" (Like I would know the difference) but if it did, it would be okay, because thats when it happened to you, and it makes it more real and genuine.
Great Job!

A lesson learned, indeed. I'm sure it was heartbreaking and hard, the memory still hurts but, I commend you on your tenderness in the use of words.
