Moving On

You told me that you loved me
You’d never let me slip away
That our love was true and forever
We’d get married one fine day

Making love for hours on a bed of silk and lace
I should have been more wary
It was never round at your place 
Looking back this sounds so contrary

I gave myself to you I gave you my trust
To me you were perfect; you were ‘the one’
But you weren’t in love with me it was only lust
I was just so naive, now sadly you have gone

I sit alone and reminisce of our first kiss
Dreaming of your bedroom eyes
Our lips came together, oh what bliss
I should have known it was all just lies

I’m ready to move on with my life
I hope a new love comes my way
Put behind me my hurt and strife
Tomorrow will be a better day

Jan A roller coaster of emotion. Happy and joyous to sad and betrayal. Your heart went into every line. Thank you for the wonderful comment on my My Story poem.

When people are young they can't read the signs, when people grow older they not only can read the signs they can read them in any language

Jan, I was thinking it was your marriage proposal poem, perhaps but I can see it is another fictional one that you do so well! (or it based on some reality?) you should see my marriage proposal poem which I won't post for a while. It is going to probably be titled: the Non Proposal.
