Lies

When I met you 

I never knew 

Just how naive 

I could be 

Falling for every word 

Just to always 

Be proved 

It was a lie 

I tried so hard 

To make you see 

But all that did 

Was cause more pain 

Lie after lie 

I kept trying to believe 

But you my dear 

Will never change 

I ask and ask 

What does love mean 

Just to never have the answer 

You lied and lied 

Til I couldn't grasp 

What was true 

And what was a lie 

I was pushed and hurt 

Til nothing was left 

All the love was gone 

Leaving only the hate 

I wanted so badly 

For you to prove me wrong 

To show the love 

That was said to be 

Lies fall off your tongue 

Like venom from a serpent 

They spread faster 

Than a wildfire 

But now I'm gone 

For you to never have again 

Lies are evaded 

The truth has set me free

There is nothing like unconditional love beaten down by fallacies and deceit. Well expressed poem.

This is a deep poem, it is hard when someone breaks your heart. This poem conveys those feelings well. Nice write!
