Liar

It hurts to lose hope,

When watching and wishing,

Frustrated and bitching

That they’d see what you see:

The decisions they’re making,

Invite misery.

 

Knowing the future,

Feel so deep in your soul;

All evidence stole

That pain only deepens

When it answers to no one,

Nor the love that it cheapens.

 

Slow motion car crash,

But denied by its victim.

It’s pointless, she’s smitten

For this fool I’ll pretend;

Who once was an ally,

Now just hope we can mend.

 

Watch her get married;

Poisoned pity and dread.

Be happy instead

Will you finally learn

On the day it backfires?

Try as hard as you like,

There’s just no changing liars.
