Once Believd to be a Good Man

Contributed by alison on Friday, 12th January 2007 @ 02:57:01 PM in AEST
Topic: LostLove

As the light befalls the shadow of sorrow,
The pain felt, known, breathed once again,
I was unafraid and willing to be with you,
Yet had I known you were all a lie,
Oh than, I would have not given you so much,
To you I gave a part of my heart, mind, body,
I gave you my time, care, understanding, compassion, and love,
You took almost all I gave and gave to me not,
For though you said time over again you cared,
I, and what I gave was meaningless to you,
I was deceived and loved you though I knew you not,
Always I knew you kept much from me,
But still I was letting go of my past and trusting you,
You a great deceiver and I a great fool,
I received what I deserve for caring about you,
Never again shall a man touch me for I am closed,
My heart, head, body, spirit, trust, belief, all closed,
For no one to share in with or give to ever again,
If a man hurts me the same I shall break,
And never again be sane,
Its more than pain, hurt, sorrow, grief, and shame,
Its more than being used, worthless, shattered, wounded, and tears,
Yes its more than just those together what you did to me,
There may be no words to describe its entirety,
Beyond all that transpired in my past and the wrong done than,
More than it all and harder to live with,
Shall I thank you for doing more wrong to me than anyone else?
Shall I regret the very day we met and hold it with loathing?
Shall I cruse every breath you take and hate the day of your birth?
Or shall I forget your face and every second we had?
No, for how can I forget that which was burned into my mind,
Framed, dreamt of, cherished, and longed for, the sight of your face,
Three seconds to be with you and the reflection of your eyes,
No how can I hate you whom I love?
And the air that gives you life and color,
No how can I regret that I cared and loved you?
Or place the light I trusted in contempt and darkness,
So I shall thank you for teaching me the real truth,
That I should not trust, believe, love, care, or give,
For you showed me the true nature of others,
To trust another may take years to happen,
For my trust, love and care, have been broken for the last time,
And I shall be stronger, smarter, perhaps better than before,
Your face still haunting my dreams but this soon shall pass,
Though I shall always remember, always feel sorrow,
For what once I believed you to be a good man.
