Poem
Strangers is that all we’ll ever be? At one time in my life you once meant the world to me Our souls became one at least that is what I thought, but I see things so clearly now through all this pain that you brought And in my heart, I honestly feel that we never really knew each other, because how could someone forget you as though you were never their lover? How do they block it all and pretend that it never did exist? And all this time you were crying and believing that you were being missed Being missed by someone that you never really knew, a person that you once thought meant everything to you I guess you were just caught up in the idyllic fantasy, of love and believing that true love could be The feelings, the emotions, all the things that you bared with your soul, knowing that you can never get back an inkling of those memories that once made you feel whole Because all that you were to each other and all that you will ever truly be, are just two strangers with nothing but memories Wasted time that you once believed would last for an eternity, arms that you thought could eclipse the pain but only brought more instead of relief Kisses that you cherished that you believed meant something then, only to find out that they were only playing pretend That they didn’t want to know you all they wanted was to lie, they chose to destroy you and laugh at the tears that you cried They felt triumphant as though they were invincible, and you felt nothing but heartache and nothing at all anymore Promises that were once whispered into my ear slowly turned into apologies, dreams that you were to make come true were taken away from me Lies and deceit and words that were once said, all to mess with my heart and then leave me lying for dead Stories that you never knew love until you looked into my eyes, was just a cover up to mask the true you, living inside The torture that your mind was in and how you wanted what you couldn’t have, was all nothing but a game of to you to hurt me more in the end How you didn’t want to give me false hope because you cared so much, pretending to love me and crying to me just to feel that rush Telling me that you weren’t man enough to let me go, just one more lie to deceive me before you had to go Looking into my eyes and the pleading with me to understand, you didn’t care that I was hurting inside you’re nothing but a cruel, heartless man Telling me that I made you feel as though you weren’t dead inside, was nothing but an easy way to let me down while pulling the wool over my eyes And I fell for it every, last line that you fed to me, and for years I dreamed of you and my heart beat in misery I realize I didn’t know you, I didn’t know you at all, because I was so caught up in the magic of it all and believing you would be there to catch my fall But you never wanted to be with me you just wanted to see if you could, play with someone’s emotions all because it made you feel good The way that you held me in your arms and looked into my eyes, you truly are an actor as you donned your beautiful disguise I was so naïve, and I fell for everything, the dancing in the dark and having you hold me The look of love in your eyes, how did you fake it? I must know, I guess that you’re just that good and all that I was, was just a part of your show The one that you laughed about as you told all your friends, how you made a stranger fall in love with you while you were only playing pretend But see I am not the one that will sit around and feel bad for what you did to me, I’m going to move on with my life and hope that one day you see I may have been just a stranger to you, just an unknowing victim to play, but as they say karma will come around and then you’ll have your day Go ahead and forget me I know that you already have, you’re not worth my tears or my pain and for this clarity I am glad I just want you to know that you missed out on loving and knowing the real me, I am a good person and would have been all that you would ever need But go live your selfish life and forever be unhappy, because we’re just strangers, remember? You don’t know me.
