I see the pain in your storm,
She lied, cheated, and left you behind,
Took your love and destroyed your peace,
Never gave back but took all you had,
Turning others against you with her tongue,
Like a snake waiting to poison your happiness,
Now tears fall behind your smiling face,
And you stay strong for all those around you,
Who do you let be strong in your place?
Who do you let comfort and touch your face?
Suffering so much as your smile shines,
Can you learn to trust again?
Can you learn to love again?
With her picture still in front of you?
With her phone on your coffee table?
Yet you say you don’t care about her still,
With her memory remaining in your walls,
Your bleeding heart is silent,
Never a complaint would you murmur,
Never a sad word would you say,
And as your smile fades,
I see you sorrow unacknowledged.

As Your Smile Fades

As your smile fades,
I see the pain in your storm,
She lied, cheated, and left you behind,
Took your love and destroyed your peace,
Never gave back but took all you had,
Turning others against you with her tongue,
Like a snake waiting to poison your happiness,
Now tears fall behind your smiling face,
And you stay strong for all those around you,
Who do you let be strong in your place?
Who do you let comfort and touch your face?
Suffering so much as your smile shines,
Can you learn to trust again?
Can you learn to love again?
With her picture still in front of you?
With her phone on your coffee table?
Yet you say you don’t care about her still,
With her memory remaining in your walls,
Your bleeding heart is silent,
Never a complaint would you murmur,
Never a sad word would you say,
And as your smile fades,
I see you sorrow unacknowledged.

Hey Alison, I really enjoyed the poem. Unfortunely I've been that guy and still am. I liked your poem it had a nice rhythm to it and as I said I could relate to it. I find it incredibly hard to really open up to someone again cause the one time I did I really got hurt, good poem made me think :)

A haunting write, so sad. You captured the moments in the person you were writing about so vividly. Nicely done.

You've read through my post so it's silly to say how I can relate. In fact, I even stopped reading at the line 'With her phone on your coffee table?'... With the bulk of ideas in your words and the thoughts it pulled up in me, I was lost in thought for a little time before I could continue.
Another good write Alison!
