You Promised

    My thoughts are racing as I think of who you could have been. Who you should have been. And how I was so much better than you. You filled my head with lies of how much you loved me. How you would do anything for me. And I believed you. That was my mistake. My only regret. I should have known you would be just like every other.
    I wish I would have seen when you started filling my head with fairy-tales and happliy ever afters. Told me that everything would be perfect as long as I spent forever with you. I wish I would have seen your lies from the start. All your words were covered with a lust filled screen. I should have known that was all you were after. I should have seen through you. If only I would have listened to myself. I knew better. I always did.
    You used the ever so popular line "if you love me, you'll do it", and I trusted you. You tricked me into believing all I ever needed was you. And if I only took off my shirt this time, everything would be okay. You eventually tricked me into everything else. I put my innocence in your palm and all you did was take advantage of my being younger. Sometimes I just wish I would have listened to mom. She always knew best. And I guess I never will have my happily ever after. You promised...

Author notes

My favorite quote [goes with this poem]:
*!Don't think that all my poems are about me!* -I am a poet- -.To be an amazing poet, you have to be able to write a poem that seems so real, that people actually think it has happened.- "If you succeed...you are amazing!"

    If it is or isn't about you. everyone goes through it, and as that quote states, not everything is about you. you write the same way I do. writing about something that could be about you, but really it isnt. I liked it.. good write

    Ohh, wow. Hah, do I ever know how this feels. I just got myself out of a situation like this. It's hard to move on, and it takes a lot of shoves in every direction to get there. I love how you wrote this. Beautiful (: Keep it uppp♥
