Lying Ways

Only one true friend would tell me, face my anger she had feared. I saw truth in what she told me. You were lying through your beard. Though it breaks my heart to leave you, I would rather be alone than with one who would deceive me. With this message, I am gone. Refrain: There was a time that I believed it, that your love was mine alone. But I can’t be fooled forever. Now my trust in you is gone. When you find this note I’m writing, know at once it is too late to win back the heart that trusted. Lying ways has sealed your fate. And the one with whom you dallied breaks another’s loving heart. By your guilt two links are broken as more lives are torn apart. Refrain: There was a time that I believed it, that your love was mine alone. But I can’t be fooled forever. Now my trust in you is gone. Left now only with each other, cheaters both well proven to be, you can never trust each other. Just deserts it seems to me. Do it with you, do it to you, lies uneasy on your mind. You’ll be sorry you betrayed me, truest love you’ll ever find. Refrain: There was a time that I believed it, that your love was mine alone. But I can’t be fooled forever. Now my trust in you is gone. For Paula's "Play me a cheatin' song" contest Won 5th place

These cheating poems are great. I only hope they are all fiction based.

Excellent set of lyrics on how people feel when they have been betrayed by their mate. And only one person had the guts to tell her the truth! That's the way it is, Joyce. Thank you for letting me know you have a support system set up for your brother. I know you wish you could be with him all the time, but at least he'll be having visits from service providers and prayers from a loving family. Best wishes in Paula's contest, dear. Love you, Carolyn

Nicely constructed and very lyrical. The refrain rolls so smoothly, it could easily be set to music. Good luck in the contest!

i know what this feels like..it hurts so much..to be cheated on...you never really heal from it you know...some men can be real scumbags..calling women the same nicknames, using the same lines..unbelievable when you catch them...it hurts..I am glad I have a good man that worships the ground I walk on and would never do either thing..he calls me "boss" or lady boss...LOL...yeah right..submissiveness rules here..
