Everyone but me.

by Sorefromreality   Feb 19, 2009


You lied.

Everyone, everyone but me knew.
Everyone knew that you could never tell the truth.

The lies were overwhelming, spinning
Spinning webs of distrust and eager glances.
All those eager glances were nothing short of lust.

All your feelings simply turned to dust, and then
The only things left were webs.
Shattered glass, tattered webs.
And yet I still let myself fall into your bed.

The lies were so regular for you, so normal.
Everyone, everyone but me knew.
I didn't know you never told me the truth.

They all thought I loved you unconditionally.
But really, really...
I really didn't know.
I didn't know you were full of these lies.
I didn't know not to trust your deep brown eyes.
I didn't know it was all a big joke.
I didn't know it was all for show.

Everyone, everyone but me knew.
They knew you weren't telling me the truth!
But no one said to me, no one warned me.
They all knew you were no good for me.

The webs of lies, you spun so many!
I loved your eyes, but you wouldn't let me...
You wouldn't let me love you,
As others had before.
You wouldn't spare me a morsel of truth,
Every time I gave more and more.

Everyone, everyone but me knew.
They knew you would NEVER tell me the truth.

    I really feel like i can relate to this piece i had an ex and all she did waste tell lies. Is that one of the reasons you used webs, as to say you were trapped in a web of lies? anyways I thought this poem was written really well.

    The lies were so regular for you, so normal.
    Everyone, everyone but me knew.
    I didn't know you never told me the truth.

    This stanza was my favorite because it seems when someone is in that situation nobody wants to speak up an say something. Very good use of words, i enjoyed the read!
