Whatever You Said You Were Poem by Sarah Frederick

Whatever You Said You Were



So, I sat down yesterday
With your picture in my hand...
She had just left,
The part of me that pretends it's all alright...
I sat at that window for hours...
Trying and trying to remember our good memories

But I failed, you see
What does that tell you?
Well, it has spoken ever so clearly to me
Stating things I should've known were true...
It says,
Whatever he claimed to be is a lie,
Whatever he said he'd do is fake!
Whatever he said he was...
Whatever you said you were was a myth!
A myth...
One I continued to believe so... happily
Why, oh why, wouldn't I ever listen,
To my family or my friends?

Have you ever heard that saying,
The one that says
They told me he'd break my heart...
But I didn't listen?

Yeah, that's what this feels like...
I wish I would've believed,
Long, long ago...
