At night I cry myself to sleep
And pray that I forget him
All day through I masquerade
As if I don't still miss him
I think about him every night
And tears roll down my cheek
He left without so much as goodbye
Someone else's love to seek
He said he'd love me forever
Well that didn't last very long
We'd never split he told me
I guess he told me wrong
What happened to all those promises
He made along the way?
To love and cherish and hold me
And by my side to stay?
They're broken now; just like my heart
With pieces scattered around
He told me so many beautiful things
But he lied a lot I've found

This one is actually 100% fiction. Wasn't written about anyone. Just how I'd felt in previous situations. It's one of my favorites....I'm GUESSING I wrote it back in 1999-2001 but unfortunately don't have the date for this particular poem.
