"be you, no one is truer then you" ~Dr. Suess


Turned out all you wanted was your weed,
Blood red eyes,
While you sit there getting high.
You were pretending to be someone you’re not,
Told me you were different,
Said you couldn’t bear to break my heart.
Said that we would never be a part.


Hidden in sheep’s clothing
I thought you were the one for me.
Momma told me you were trouble,
But I was blinded by your lies.
Told me you would always be by my side,
Then one day you decided to walk outta my life.
Then I realized that momma was right,
But yet I still cried.
I didn’t want to believe that we didn’t mean anything.

That charming smile of yours,
Convincing me that you meant what you said,
Planned out our lives ahead.
I loved you.
Thought that we would last forever,
But you were someone looking for treasure;
I never gave in so you started to look somewhere else
Decided that you didn’t need me anymore.
Claimed that you still loved me but things changed
That I deserve the best and you can’t give me what I need.


Maybe it’s the best thing that you did leave.
Looking at me as you take a hit and blow the smoke in the air,
Looking at me like you just don’t care as someone hands you a beer.
I can never look at you the same.
Your mesmerizing blue eyes are like a deep sea of despair
I saw everything we had burn down like a bridge.
All those times you kissed me and held me
Throughout the cold night,
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear.
I saw those memories completely disappear,
Like a ghost vanishing in midair.


My heart felt broken but I kept a straight face fighting back the tears.
I turned away as you leaned in for one last kiss,
Knowing that you lied to me with those lips,
I couldn’t bear to kiss them again.
The pain was starting to set in
Thoughts in my head, “stupid girl you should have known”.
I was strong enough to walk away,
I left you standing there alone.

I wrote this poem after I was in a serious relationship that ended recently because he would rather party and have the time of his life then to be with me so this poem allowed me to release the emotions I was feeling.
