Torn In Two

When we met everything was bright and new,
And everyday our new relationship grew,
Finally all of my dreams had come true,
But one day my heart was torn in two,
For you were not who I thought I knew,
How could this happen without a clue,
A hidden side has given me a different view,
My heart no longer beats as it used to,
It's never again, happy and forever blue,
Throbbing no longer red, but a blue-violet hue,
It cannot be mended with stitches and glue,
Now that you're gone, what will I do,
And thinking that I was sick with the flu,
When, actually I was just sick of you.

Kelly Such a relatable and emotional write. It tugs at the heartstrings of everyone who has ever dealt with someone lying, cheating, two faced or just hiding their true self. Nice job Thanks for the awesome comment on my Without Your Friendship poem Hugs

i think most everyone can relate to this piece....so much truth in your words... we don't always realize how bad someone makes us feel until they are gone...as they say love is blind....enjoyed this one Kelly :)

You know that I really understand what you're writing about. A lot of my work centers around your theme here. Discovering love, then discovering deception can write many songs..... Great writing, sweetheart.... I've not written much lately due to pacemaker implant along with the loss of a precious pet has robbed me of my inspiration. I'm feeling much better, so I will hopefully get back in the groove... Thanks for your encouraging visits.... Love ya dearly.... Jake

Seems in the beginning many conceal their true self in order to attain their desire. It begins to unravel when the 'real' persona is revealed little by little.

I know exactly how you feel. It is a heart wrenching feeling when for so long you feel so right. Then suddenly it hits you that nothing is right at all. I went threw this same situation. I felt like i wasted so much time. As painful as it was i fel so much better now that its all over.

Hi Kelly, it always sounds good at first... this kind of reminds me of my x-fiance.. he managed to indulge me with love. after 5 years of living together, I found out he was married... I was like wow!!! He was not the man I thought he was... my heart in two... LOL, like you I got sick of his lies. He's the reason I found the soup. haha~ enjoyed this one... xox Linda
