The Wave: A Collection of Poems

Mask

You were my world

The one picked by fate

My one and only

My own soul mate

You were the one that kept me moving

The one that kept my strong

The one right beside me

When you knew something was wrong

Even though you didn't know it

I made a promise to my self

I promised I'd never hurt you

So I'd never hurt myself

You were all that I thought of

Each day and each night

You owned the face that I thought

Made everything alright

You captivated me with your beauty

Took the breath out of my lungs

You stole my heart like a thief

And that's when I got stung

You were all that I wanted

You were all that I needed

You were all that I dreamt of

You were all of this to me

But then you broke my heart, broke it in two

Shattered it to pieces

And left me to pick them up

With the loneliest feeling in the world

Yes, the loneliest feeling

The most gut wrenching feeling

Caused by the thought

That you were never coming back

It took me awhile, yes, a long, long while

To except that fact

But I finally did it

When I had people that, unlike you, loved me back

You used to be my one and only

But now that you're gone

I only have one thing to say:

Good riddance, you bitch

Because, you see, I don't need you

Nor this gut wrenching crap

With it about a person like you

It should have been gone in a snap

You captivated me with your beauty

But then told me lies

Know what? You're very similar...

To a snake with blue eyes

I know I'm too smart for you

But there are unlucky others

That have yet to get trapped

In your web of lies

There are those that are bullies

There are those that tease

But the most dangerous of all...

Are those that you please

The worst have got a mask

One they can look through

But beware of your heart

Because that is the target they choose.
