They saw you as someone you were not
They told me a lie
They have done that a lot

They thought you were someone else
Trusting them is a mistake
Of course, trusting you was a mistake, too
A risk I don’t like to take

I saw you as someone I could trust
But you fooled me and my eyes
You said you were my friend- but you lied
My eyes believed you, though, and told me lies

I thought I could trust you
I saw you as a friend
But I guess we just have to
Say goodbye in the end

I wish we didn’t
I wish my eyes
Didn’t see you like that
I wish they didn’t lie

No one should trust their eyes
They all just tell lies

Wow! I randomnly clicked on this particular poem and now I must check out the others you have wrote. This poem can, and probably will, touch many other people..as it already has touched me. Very good work.

I'm sorry you were hurt like that. It makes me want to give you a hug. I do feel your pain.
