My Life the Lie'The Long Dream Short Changed

she just put on a mask looked me in the eyes said I love you went out went shopping made dinner washed dishes went to bed had sex didn't hugged kissed fought cried said I love you for a decade behind my back in front of the world took off the mask looked them in the eyes she lied all that time a constant 24/7 lie a decade we had a home we lived a normal life bbq'd watched movies cuddled laughed played cried were scared to death together made it thru together all the while a secrete life and I had none I have nothing I’m the product of nothing everything I have believed -a lie everything I felt -a lie every kiss every night every morning every hardship every paycheck every dinner every dish washed every lazy day together every time my heart felt full was a lie every goddamn I love you was a lie

i really feel you! my first husband cheated on me then came back then left for good! Luckily though we didn't have any children. you will pull through, stay tough and don't let her get the best of you! or else she will think she's won. welcome to poetrysoup and i really liked your poem it hit home and my heart.

They say things happen for a reason. I would like to think there is someone "out there" who is waiting and just perfect for you. And if it's true that "Time heals all wounds" then we can look forward to hearing from you at a later date about the wonderous life you have found and then telling us all about it. Thank you for your poetry
