Chamonique Knowles Poet Free verse

I Misread You

your eyes told me you'd never leave me
and I believed it
your voice soothed my worries, and promised nothing but peace.
and I believed it
you may not have said you loved me
but the way you held me, made me believe you might.
I was wrong.
I read you all wrong.

Jessica Woolum November 10, 2011 at 7:15 AM Very well written with true feelings. Love it. Love is a tricky thing. I've only been hurt once, but I've found me life partner. So shall you. (: All the hurt you feel in life, makes your love for the ones deserving so much stronger.
