It's so sickening to see,
that what I thought was sincerity,
was a big fat bunch of lies.
You made a vow,
sealed a promise,
you said you'd run for miles and miles.
You said you'd love me,
die for me, do it all for me,
but I didn't know I was living
in your house of lies.
You must have thought
I was naïve,
just a silly little girl..
..Huh, and I thought I was wise?
No, I'm a fool,
a fool for you,
and yet, why do I still cry?
You sly old fox,
playing around with people's feelings,
only aiming to get the prize.
Why do you crush people's hearts and
think of it as just a little joke?
why do you watch the fire die in their eyes?
When they place their heart, their everything, in your feet,
why do you toss it away as if it's nothing, why do you lie?
But I won't stoop so low,
as to hate you and get revenge,
I'll take you by surprise.
I'll smile at you and treat
you just like any other,
because I don't want to be someone I don't like.
But I won't let you get away with it,
I won't just watch you plan your little trickery,
I'll give you some advice.
And when everything is said and done,
making amends, with you trying to make a wrong, a right..
I'll go my way,
dissappear from your life,
with a simple, silent.. "goodbye"

I hope you never reach
The day
Where you are lost for words
Because they're tangled up in
Agony.

I hope you never reach
The point
Where your innocence of
The world is
Robbed.

I hope you choose
Your friends and
Lovers wisely
So that you never have to
Discover what it feels like
To see those who you believed
Would take a bullet for you
Dance behind the
Trigger.
I am very fortunate that this has made the daily poems! I am completely new to this site (about a week or two in) and it is truly an honor to have my work recognized. Thank you guys for supporting!
I was once sad and lonely,
Having nobody to comfort me.
So I wore a mask that always smiled;
To hide my feelings behind a lie.

Before long, I had many friends;
With my mask, I was one of them.
But deep inside, I still felt empty,
Like I was missing a part of me.

Nobody could hear my cries at night,
For I designed my mask to hide the lies.
Nobody could see the pain I was feeling,
For I designed my mask to be laughing.

Behind all the smiles were the tears,
And behind all the comfort were the fears.
Everything you think you see,
Wasn't everything there was to me.

I thought I had to keep searching,
For the thing that'll stop my crying.
For Someone who'll erase my fears,
For the Person who'll wipe my tears.

But now I'm truly smiling,
I have long ago cast off the mask I'm wearing.
For I found the One that my heart was seeking,
And He gave me joy unceasing. ♥︎

When I first met you,
I thought you were the one.
And when you met me,
You showered me with love.
I thought about you,
Every single day.
And when you talked to me,
I didn't know what to say.
You said you liked me,
But you seemed so far away.
I didn't know love was so complicated,
I was so fooled by your empty praises.
And though you left me broken,
I don't want my words to be unspoken:
I wish you the best in life,
Though all you told me were your lies.
I want you to be happy,
Though we are now apart.
I hope that you grow to be a gentleman;
I mean it from the bottom of my hurting heart.
Sometimes the only reason why you're not letting go of what makes you sad, is because that was the only thing that made you happy.

All I ever wish was to make you smile
I would do anything, even the extra mile.

I would sit there gazing at you,
Thinking of what for you, I'll do.

Dreaming of you from morning 'till noon,
Dreams as big as the Midnight moon.

I may be a dreamer, but I'll do as I say,
And you will find yourself the happiest person someday

My support for your dreams is
as long-lasting as zinc,
because your potential to shine
is as immense as unpolished platinum.

I do not care what others might say or think,
for a tiny spark will light you up
as bright as magnesium .
-j.w.//spark yo!
