Written: 2/28/12 <br />About: N/A <br /> <br />Foolishly fell for you cleverly contrived ruse <br />For you were never a true friend of mine and of me you used <br />My heart turned a blind eye to your ill-gotten gains <br />Which leaves me now to surmount unbearable pain <br />Your stolen goods were my heart and my trust <br />I played your game with the outcome unjust <br />You prowled around for an unsuspecting mark <br />Pouncing on me for I am a gullible lark <br />Taking advantage of my good natured condition <br />You tortured me like a vicious inquisition <br />My brain tells me I'm just as culpable as you <br />Because when I ignored my intuition it came true <br />Yet one falls in love the brain loses all control <br />Emotion becomes responsible for that person being cajoled <br />I didn't stop to think and my actions became rash <br />Leaving me susceptible to my altruism being gashed <br />When I am unable to trust my selflessness gets pushed away <br />I become reclusive taking the hurt day by day <br />Myself is the only person I have in the world <br />Everyone has ulterior motives which eventually unfurl <br />My destiny must be for me to be deceived <br />But what were you hoping to achieve <br />Whatever it was it must be worth the life that you destroyed <br />It must have worth the coldness of throwing me into a void <br />A void which is virtually impossible for me to escape <br />A void caused by leaving my heart agape <br />In the end love became a disingenuous game <br />Which ruined my life and invoked inexplicable shame<br /><br />Jonathan Sewell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/26-the-truth/
