You said, I don't want to hurt you, I just need some time. <br />But for two weeks or more, you said you were mine. <br />Was I just dreaming, why didn't I see <br />that sooner or later, this would come to be. The doubting, the silence, the acting on edge <br />were only clues, that soon our love would be dead. <br />But what about our loving, so passionate and red, <br />Hot as fire, flames in our bed. Was I mistaken? I didn't get a clue. <br />Not from the love, and not from you. <br />But there were things that brewed outside, <br />outside our love, that made us die. You lied.<br /><br />Flora A. Parham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-said-6/
