Could Have Been Poem by Leanna Page Markgraf

I would rather a lie with a smile
instead of the truth mixed with tears.
Anything is better
than facing my biggest fears.
You lied to me so easily
with your words so fake.
I'm finished listening to them
my love is not give and take.
You ripped my heart out
and left me for dead.
My hate for you filled my heart
I'm holding on by a thin thread.
Everything is painful
tears pierce my skin
Our story has ended
Who knows what could have been...
