Poem Title:
Poem
Why did you say yes when you really meant no? Why did you stay when you wanted to go? Why did you convince me that you were so in love with me? Why did we sit up all night drinking wine until three? Why did you hold my hand and tell me that we were to grow? Why did you promise me the things that would never be so? Why did you hold me close and cry tears of joy? Why did you say I was your soul mate when you always planned to leave? Why did you read me fairytales? Then kissed me so sweet? Why did you lie beside my body every night? When it didn’t mean a thing. Why did you paint dreams in my eyes? Why did you lie to me? Why did you then search for reasons to leave? Why did you shut me out in the cold And plan on never saying goodbye to me? The night you left My life turned black You had given me beer when I asked for tea And did I mention that I know you lied to me? Words built on flimsy, torn paper Yet you managed to get the very best of me Months I blamed myself For the disappearance of you You see now I question what other false words were said Or how you could live in the knowing Then sleep soundly beside me in my bed The puzzle fits The instinct was right Now no more tears can be shed For the make believe man You see all of these things I will never know Or why you said yes When you really meant no
