#43 Deceiving Me

I wrote this one night while I was trying to lie to myself. I tried to say that this person had meant nothing to me - a vain attempt to get over my broken heart.

We were actually perfect for each other, but I wanted nothing more than to mend my own heart in the quickest way possible. He was the first person I have ever loved and it hurt when I still loved him, but he no longer had the same feelings for me.

Deceiving Me

by Erin Howley

When I said I loved you,
It was a lie.
Lust is what
I felt inside.
I'm still wondering
what love is,
This couldn't have been it,
it wasn't all bliss.
We definitely wouldn't
be good together;
The two of us mixing
was like bad weather.
You were snow,
and I was the sun.
The task of staying together
could never be done.
If I say this over and over,
maybe I'll believe.
I'll get out of this okay,
if I can deceive me.

This poem is extremly sad but true. this is what most girls do. Sometimes I wish that we could just give up in a relationship as easily as they can. But I honestly don't think it can be done with out us trying our best to keep what we believed was true Love. Love the poem. keep up the good work!

I really liked this poem a. lot because it reminded me of a boy that I think that I'm in love with, but sometimes I try to tell myself I'm not because all he does is hurt me, and I think this poem really expresses the way I feel! I think it is a terriffic poem! Keep up the good work!
