Jealous of Your Lies

a poem of a one-sided relationship

         Jealous Of Your Lies

         Your faithfulness is amazing,
         Your devotion is steadfast and true,
         You will fight ' till the death,
         To protect what you love,
         And I feel the same way about you.

         You said that you loved me,
         I gave you my heart,
         You told me it always would last,
         So I worked very hard,
         To suppress all the pain,
         The wounds and the scars from the past.

         You said you believed we were soulmates,
         We'd be friends,
         Forevermore,
         So I took your words,
         And I gave you my soul,
         Then you turned, and you walked out the door.

         Countless times, I gave you a chance,
         To admit all the lies that you told,
         You defended your lies with such passion,
         You were heartlessly fervent and cold,

         Now I wish that you'd love me,
         Like I still love you,
         As I sit here, with tears in my eyes,
         Or perhaps, you could give me,
         The faithful devotion,
         You've given to all of your lies.
