Deception

...............................................................


God, I was green when you met me
I still believed in fairy tales
Of love and commitment
Surely if I loved you with all my heart
You would give the same
I hadn’t yet learned about deceptions

The lessons were swift and painful
A whiff of Poison
When I only wear Ysatis
Of course, the older lady in the office hugged you
How could I be so suspicious
A pair of panties under your car seat
That certainly weren’t mine
But I listened to you lie
And wondered about deceptions

I nodded when you complained
About all the time you had to work
Was sympathetic
When you were down with the flu
I comforted you when you came back
But went on with my life when you were gone
I now knew about deceptions

So here I am, looking up into your eyes
For the first time in weeks
As our bodies cool and our minds engage
You ask me gently
If I still love you, if you are my only man
I look deep into your eyes
And smile that loving after sex smile
And say you’ll always be my only love
God, I wish you hadn’t taught me to play so well
This lying game
Called deception

Once again, this is just a poem about deception, not about me...although i'm sure it could be at some point in my life

Hi Sue,
Some very true words there, think the deepest hurt is when where one deceives ones self.
Have fun,
Tomas
