Loneliness engulfs me—I yearn for love’s embrace—
but gone am I from your mind’s eye; now I can plainly see
the truth that I’d forgotten, lies so carefully spoken:
for the way you look at her, was how you used to look at me.
But now your mind wanders ‘twixt other nightly dreams,
for my heart-broken words never reach your ears—
so entranced by new love’s first glimpse of starlight:
the realization of betrayal has never been this clear.
Just promise me you won’t look back to see my fallen hope,
because my pain is great—I could not bear for you to see
as I’m lying broken, crying deeply, watching you walk on:
for the way you look at her, was how you used to look at me.
I’ll walk into the future, but I cannot ever leave the past,
and I know that these twisted words will never reach your ears.
Carry on, my love, worry not for me—the scars will fade—
but the realization of betrayal has never been this clear…

This is brutal, i hate things like this, when someone you care about hurts you, a stab in the back, unless it was unintentional...but still. I hope your alright, i'll try and catch you on MSN sometime, but my computer is sorta inaccesable right now. Great poem though, emotion really comes through in a torrent. beautifully articulated, awesome awesome.
a waste of flesh -
This line that hit me the strongest was The way you look at her was the way you used to look at me.... what an awfull feeling,I havent been at that exact point. But I do know what it is like to have someone not look at you like they used to. Anyway, this was a wonderfull write and thank you for your comment.

How about calling it "Turn a Blind Eye" for past loves forgetfulness, and the pain they caused and choose to ignore.

Yea..we'll get through it eventually...*sigh*

This poem breaks my heart everytime I read it. The gut wrenching truth burns deep. We'll get through this Ica. They want scars, I'll give them scars.

I think this poem is about someone who your asking if hes truly your friend and loves you, like will he help you out, or ignore you and leave you bruised and broken to love someone else, great poem, suggested title, hmm, Maybe Will You Love Me Always?, Question Mark included, thats just my opinion, great write! Peace
