Pegi Price Poem
I found out today you had never been true
You were with someone else when I was seeing you.
You took my love, my heart, my trust
And all it meant to you was lust.
I found out today that you gave her a ring
While talking with me about the same thing
And pledged your vows and made her your wife
And swore to stay with her the rest of your life.
Was it just a race? Was it just a game?
Did either of us matter or were we just the same?
Did you really care which one of us said yes first?
Here I thought when you left me you had done your worst.
I found out today the ink was not yet dry
On the decree from your previous lie.
I was just one of many, a face in your crowd
Being duped by you does not make me proud.
I found out today I will get over you
I will hold my head high, I will get through
You have made me a skeptic, you have opened my eyes
I will not so easily fall for men's lies.
One day if I chance to see you on the street
If our paths should cross, if our eyes should meet
I'll forget the deceptions, the lies you would say
I'll remember the truth that I found out today.

Pegi Price Poem
How many times I've laughed at those
Who act like fools for love.
I scoffed, I sneered, I laughed out loud
I thought I was above.
How silly! How illogical!
How stupid to get hurt.
And even worse these clueless dolts
Will give another chance.
And then the fools refuse to see
What strangers realize.
They think their lover’s being true
While weaving sloppy lies.
Why can't they see the sad, sick truth
So clear to you and me?
We do not realize in our youth
We really want the lies.
The truth is ugly, the truth is dull.
With no romance or magic.
To look at life straight on like that
Is depressing, even tragic.
Once I believed in fairy tales
I believed his love was true.
A cynic smitten, it never fails
There was no greater fool.

Pegi Price Poem
Your tousled hair, your sleepy eyes
Imprinted on my teenage mind.
I fell in love, I wish you had
I’ve tried so hard to leave you behind.
We’ve never synchronized the time
So we could be together
Then life and distance got in the way
Of our “Happily Ever After.”
I finally realized it wasn’t time
It wasn’t life or distance.
I had fallen in love with someone
Who wasn’t in love with me.
Just when I think I’m over you
My pulse will race, my breath will catch, on
A shirt the color of your eyes, or
A song we heard while driving by.
Instead of being filled with you
I cannot escape this
Unrelenting longing chased by
Regrets that fill me in the night.
Even though I’ll never get back
The part of my heart that is yours,
You can never take away the time we spent
Or your touch, or your kiss, or the tears.
Years have passed, it’s obvious
We’ll never be together.
I’m happy now, my life is good
I hope you’re well wherever.
I’ll go my way and find another, but
I’ll always think of you
Whenever I hear jazz in the morning
Or see the lights of Santa Fe.
