So the truth finally comes out
You finally see through all his games
And all his lies
You finally realize
That the only place he was every perfect
Was in your eyes
In that moment you realize
That every moment you shared meant nothing at all
And you've never felt like such an idiot
Or so incredibly small
And you realize
That you'd rather stay lying on the ground
Then get back up after taking that long, miserable fall
As your friends draw close to you
Even though you feel the pain start to set in
You fake a smile and say:
'I'm just glad I know the truth about him'
But when the lights go out
And your left alone
And down your cheeks slowly start to fall tears
The pain in your heart
Turns into a burning fire
That does nothing but sear
That's when you realize
That the hadest thing to do
Is accept what you know to be true
Because sometimes
Nothing hurts more
Than the truth
Very relatable poem. That feeling is terrible and hard to get up from a fall like that. Strange how we blame ourselves from pain someone else caused. That's always how it goes though. Great job! Your poems are getting more mature and I'm really enjoying them.
You shameless self promoter. This is the first...psssht! Anywho, this was a strong honest piece of witing. My favorite line is: You finally realize That the only place he was every perfect Was in your eyes. In that moment you realize. That every moment you shared meant nothing at all. And you've never felt like such an idiot, Or so incredibly small. Many people would be able to relate to this. Nice work.
