NO PROMISES

by Dolores DLF   Apr 13, 2006


You made no promises now I know why;
You chose this way so you could live your lie.
You think I was dumb...You think I didn't know;
How you pretended and mislead me so.

You acted so tough but that wasn't you;
You left me asking, what can I do?
All I can say is...I knew you when;
Once...your annoyance of me could bend.

I always wanted to know about you;
You stopped sharing...what could I do.
You stopped telling me about your day;
You just stayed on the phone and went on to say:
"My day is always the same; how about yours?"
But I always wanted to know about you...of course.
You never wanted to tell me more;
Like I believed you wanted to before.
You think I was blind that I couldn't see;
How amazing...wonderful you could be?
You think being an as**ole was who you were;
You think I was naive and everything was a blur?

You know! You acted like a fool,
But I loved you...YOU KNEW!
You tore me down when we talked,
And out of my life, you walked.
You think I don't know how,
To care about you...especially now?
Let me openly just say this,
Knowing you was such bliss.

You will never know that I knew;
The person you could be...the real you!

    by just a poet

    I agree with endless rapture. u commented on one of my poems a few days a go a week or 2 and i've just seen. well i just wanted to say, u loved him and he loved you but u lost him? im a bit confused. i mean i've been half in that situation before. i realy cared bout my best friend but he is madly in love with someone else and we started getting into fight cuz i didnt want him to get hurt or we'd argue over the stupedist things like why i used a pen and not a oencil to draw something and then i realised i was gonna loose him if i didnt do someting so i let go i let go of all the feeling i had. i still care but in a different way now. i see him as a firend we still argue non stop but it isnt to the point anymore that i'd cry myself to sleep and we'd not talk for days. and his more honest now even if the only thing he talks about it 'clairy'. anyway so i was wondering how ur situation worked if u dont mind me asking? and if u ever wanna talk to someone well im here and beleive it or not i've been through so much this past year that i am very mature for my age so u no u dont need to feel ur tlking to a 4 yr old, though i can be like that sometimes. anyway i'll shut up soon.

    i agree with endless rapture, this is a super poem that comes from the heart, its defenitly good enough but im just wondering if u should read it to him urself show him ur emotions not only through your words but also ur voice ur eyes, truely make him see? its only an idea thou. anyway a definite 5. i loved it and gd luck and take care and hope to talk soon.
