To the wonderful readers of this most resplendent blog…
The host recently read a poem of mine of on my blog here : Experimental Fiction and liked it enough to let me post it here as a guest post. However, she also said that she read it back-to-front and it worked as a piece that way too… and I have to agree. So, I have posted it here as ScottishMomus’ version which I still like, and a link to the original can be found here. I hope you like it.
You’re all that I wanted,
But it was not to be,
Our life in five words,
You were lying to me.
Your actions spoke louder
Than a shout from on high,
Facades came crumbling
I’d never know why.
A mask of forgiveness
And patience pretended,
But truth is now out,
Falseness is ended.
We thought that forever
Could be held close and near,
But hands lose their grip
When shaken by fear.
The first lie you told me
Were the last words you said,
No love in your heart,
No me in your head.
