Poetry: The tragedy of love

by Alicia Thomason

Created on: May 08, 2008

How Could You

How could you lie to me?
Why didn't you set me free?
The door was open from the start,
At any time you could part.

We cannot ever be friends,
The pain you cause never ends.
You cheat and manipulate all-
No, you do not stand tall.

You care for no one but for you,
Nothing you have said is true.
You care for nothing but money.
You're not clever, and not funny.

You think you are so damn smart!
But you haven't got a heart.
You are cold as cold can be.
Your eyes are blind, you do not see.

The pain you caused will bite you.
It will stick to you like glue.
I send you blessings, this is true:
What you give is returned you.

You are not kind nor respectful,
You are hurtful and rejectful.
No good will ever follow you-
You are color of the darker hue.

Enjoy yourself while it lasts,
Soon you'll pay for your "pasts".
In a tiny little cell you will be,
I shudder remembering your sign "We".
