Saved from me


In love with the perfect guy, is not what it seems,

He can seem so sweet, and you're blinded, but you never know how he really feels till its too late to do anything. The relationship can happen so fast and you may not have enough time to breath, its sweet and fun, and I never saw, that he wasn't the perfect guy for me.

He smiles sweetly, loves so tenderly, kisses softly, takes you away to the world you thought you wanted. But when he leaves, no one could know how perfect you thought it was, no one could know how much you cried afterwards, no one knows the pain.... only God does. My help my saviour, He saved me from the man I thought I loved.

The man would never know the pain he caused me, he would never see the tears I cried. Only now I know that it was far from perfect. I was blind, and naive, and in love. Love is not the enemy in this piece though, for it was love that saved me from myself. The love God has for me, was the only thing that saved me.
I was lost in a world of lust. I thought I was in a fairytale, but I guess not.

No one knows, but I and my God. No one could see what really went on. I will never know if this man thinks of me still, it was the power of real love that destroyed my fantasty.

I could never describe how many tears I cried, and the sadness I felt, but I know that life goes on, and I am no longer tied to a man I hardly know.

  • THIS, "but I know that life goes on..." is the essence of wisdom and the key to happiness. Feel the pain, then shrug it off and move on. Isn't life grand?

    Excellent example of the experience of a person looking for something real in somethng that they want to be real.
    I absolutely love the message and how it plays out.
    The form is a little off but the piece is still beautiful... hopeful for those who are experiencing the results of a superficial love.

    and I am no longer tied to a man I hardly know.

    The ending line is a powerful statement, feels empowering.
    Great write

    I think this is a very interesting piece, and probably one of the first of this kind that doesn't blame the emotion of love for their pain and suffering. Although its a sad tale about the man in your life, I think it is also quite hopeful in the fact that you aided yourself in your discovery of Gods love, and realised a deeper, more truer sense of love. A very mature piece, I enjoyed reading it
