You look at others and pass such judgment
Yet you never take the time to look at yourself

Switch

I can't stand it when you don't act like an adult
You just assume the worst and revolt
You think you know everything but don't bother to ask
You cop a bad attitude and start acting crass
It's so pathetic how you act like a child
That isn't attractive and it gets me riled
You're always the one to point the finger
It's never your fault and the tension lingers
You love to place the blame on me
You always claim that I am lying
Name calling is what you do best
With you I'm anything but impressed
But maybe you're right, I'm just a *****
And now I think it's time for me to make a switch
Focus on myself rather than on you
I hate to say it but I think we're through

Master Deceiver

You are a master deceiver
You've been able to fool not a few
But hundreds of people that have the misfortune
Of coming across someone like you
And believe all the words that escape your mouth
You become obsessed with one person
Get them to love you and invest their feelings
And then you move on to the next one
To leave the other one feeling like an idiot
I'm the biggest fool for letting you into my life
I should have known that you would lie to me
Not just once but many other times after that
I should've known you would have everything to hide
I played the fool before but I won't do it again
It's time to say goodbye to you and your deception

This is not so much a poem as it is a vent.
Thanks for reading.

Him vs. Me

Him

He led you on
He let you down
He lied to you
He made you feel small
He used you
He was blind to your feelings
He showed no care
He had no interest in you
He didn't love you
He didn't want you

Me*

I think about you all day
I go out of my way to be nice to you
I spend all my resources trying to make you happy
I care so much about your well being
I want you to be safe
I wish for your happiness
I'm totally invested in you
I like everything about you
From the way you think to the way you look
I never ignore you
I'd never give up on you
I love you

But you still prefer him
And you lie to me about it
I can't trust you anymore

Hardened

I lose the faith easily
That's just something about me
I have no confidence in myself
Therefore I have no confidence in anyone
True friends are few and far between
It's been this way since I was a teen
There is nothing or no one specifically to blame
It's just that life is one big game
I can't escape the person I am
There is just no one that could understand
The way I feel and the way I think
Not even I can find the missing link
I feel so confused, like nothing is real
That's why my true self I try to conceal
Being let down is something I'm used to
It's very difficult for me to have to go through
I always give one hundred ten percent
Only to be left living a life of torment
I hate that I care about people that mean not one thing
I'm looking for love, not just some fling
Spare me your flirtatious words and your meaningless jargon
All of the fake love has left my soul hardened

Hope You Know

I imagine our first time
So real, so raw
Infatuation at its best
True love in the rarest form
Something new yet so familiar
I don't think I'd ever stop
The light of my life
The true beginning of it all
I had no purpose before I met you
Not until I had begun to fall
Beautiful face and stunning eyes
My life with you keeps me mesmerized
Every day, you leave me wanting more
These days I'm so much happier than before
How could I ever repay you
Let you know how much you're worth
You're my inspiration
For you, I'd go to the ends of the earth
You awaken my spirit
And nurture my soul
I'm in love with you
And I hope you know

Sweet

I bet you taste like candy
And smell like roses
