Intentional Poem by Deborah Cromer

I learned from life that all is not true
I found out about lies by being with you
Discovering about cheating and just being used
Emotionally and physically I began getting abused

You turned on me becoming violent and strong
Yelling and screaming, what you did was wrong
You hurt me and in total confusion I tore us apart
Leaving me for another was too painful for my heart

Years of loving you, devoted to your every breath
I gave you everything I had and you in the end just gave me death
Your choice to leave me, to leave me forever alone
My relationship with you was like none I have ever known

You taught me about life and how people could be
Showing me up closely what I found so hard to see
Thinking I knew you and trusted you with my being
I walked safely in the dark without really seeing

Blinded I loved you and followed you so much
Trusting in your voice, believing in your touch
Believing you would be with me forever, I had my man
If I would have known my future, I would have ran

Away from our lives, far away from your touch
How could you have deliberately turned and hurt me so much
Is your life now what you thought it would be
Are you much happier and more yourself without me

Did you make the right choice, is she really the one
Are your lives fantasy and filled with glorious fun
I never would have thought that you would turn
That our memories and moments from yesterday would burn

Forgotten secrets of what we totally wanted
Seeing you with her so much, I am forever haunted
