I died inside when I read those words
Million memories went from cherished
Brilliance that was so sweet
To all bitter sour thoughts
Things were all distorted in my loving gaze
Thought you were really that perfect angel
My love was really blind
And apparently yours was non-existent
Time tells all of who we are
Over seven years my love held strong
‘But what a shame all wasted on you
When you never loved ever true
If you felt anything like what I did
You would have at least
Cut tactfully instead of deep through my heart
Maybe realness is something that fades
Like me thankfully my pain fades with me
Into that sweet numb place
Between the lines of my favorite rhymes
In poetry I exist alone
It’s my curse to be
‘but heartless will never be me
That credit goes to you
My love your lies were so amazing
Can’t describe the way I fell into
That beauty of what I thought was true love
Found it in your eyes
‘but now I know it was my demise…

Author notes
I had a sort of close friend of mine post this for me a while back just to get an idea of what people thought of it. I didn't take credit for it originally because it was too personal at the time in my life when I wrote it. Love is so perfectly described in this poem. When you truly love someone, you are blind to all their flaws....
Love is a dream that never exists... Love is a reality, that never gets to be real...
Love is like a perfect cloud you can never catch...
Love is a cruel illusion of what your heart wants more than anything...
At least to me, love is always out of reach...

I definitely know how you feel with these words...it's very deep and touching. I love the ending best. Why is life like this? I have such bad luck with relationships..my problem is usually that there's no guys around my age.
