Comments : The Truth lied to me

    Since we do not discuss
    about who loves the other more
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Oh what an opening!!! This so reminds me of what my hubby and I do. I love you, no I love you more. Awesome opening!!!

    I will simply do "he loves me,
    he loves me not" with a cloverleaf,
    that has three petals.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Three petals - it means he loves you... though there's that hint of sadness that you have to get that confirmation from a clover with three petals.

    Only like that
    the result will be certain,
    though it's different with us.

    I don't want to know how it ends,
    I prefer to think, that it never ends,

    but to be honest,
    it did not even start.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Wow these stanzas are heartbreaking. The idea that you had loved this person so much but it seems that possibly it was going one way???

    You said, that you'd first
    have to find yourself,
    not realizing, that I am
    already there, waiting.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    This confirms what my previous thoughts were. That you had felt strongly about this person but they could not reciprocate the feelings just yet. I hope that he was not leading you on.

    but that the salt will stay
    and that the only thing,
    that connects us

    is that we live underneath
    the same sun.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Living under the same sun, it's not the best way to be connected to someone, it's vague thus an excellent way of describing how the feelings don't flow between you both.

    I am sorry that this is something you may have gone through. I know what it feels like to love someone who does not love you back and it is agonising. The flow of the poem is awesome, simple words but there's so much meaning to the way you have brought them together.

    Awesome poem hun

    Deep and very sad. The emotion is so intense but yet done with realization. Not overwhelmed in sorrow.
    Excellent poem in every way

    True love can be eternal.
    Sometimes those two people dont realise it until much later.

    I like this piece, I can relate.

    But the title is catchy.. The truth lied to me..

    Though, to me the poem was more towards The truth blindfolded me
    Because the author knew the truth all along but due to that, she preferred to blindfold herself to the reality until it was inevitable and it was the time to finally take off the cloth from her heart.

    I really like the flow of this piece and also the tone of the poem. It doesn't sound painful rather sounds more like acceptance.

    Jenni, WOW.
    You kite runners are writing amazing pieces of art...

    I LOVe the way you incorporated the plucking of flower on 'he loves me, he loves me not' and not only this, but the fact that it has three petals only.

    You're lying to yourself with the three petals, for eventually youll find that he loves you.

    PERFECT!!!!

    Jennie, you're my angel. I just would delet the word 'the' in the title, I felt it kind of weak. The three petals refer that you're aware/doubting that he loves you not, still you want to convince yourself that he indeed does so you picked up a three petal-ed flower. How inspiring. Nominated the next week no bet.
