About the Poem

This poem is about a relationship dwindling - with only one party noticing, yet being able to do nothing.

The poem also explores reality by showing the reader you can only help someone so much; the other person must respond in some way for the bond to work. All too often, the relationship fades and you are left with one person heartbroken and the other totally unaware. 		Love Poems

The Lie
by Wikket
Woke up this morning
Trying hard to hide my melancholy
I joined you for breakfast
And we continued our lie

Every day it is similar
You are cheery
And so am I
Our terrible lie

Can you imagine a time
When we awoke and did not speak
Realizing our moods would cause tension
Tension caused by too little life?

I do wish sometimes
As I leave for work sullenly
Dreading the day already
Weeping far within

The lie, terrible and unending
Would cease to be
And I would know the real you
And you the real me

But, the lie drags on for now
For it is not written in the stars
And perhaps it will never be
I am my own companion

The dreaded truth
Gathered in a lifetime
Sentenced for an eternity
Realized too late

It had been a year since emptyness and total darkness descended into my life. Read the poem and it really say the true feelings that i had when I discovered the lie and it made me lie just to make her happy.

Your poem is very deep and heartfelt. I was or am in this type of situation right now. I honestly do not care anymore about what we had that was special. Everyone makes mistakes and some are just ALOT better at stomping on someone's heart,even if they aren't even totally aware of the other's real feelings,such as mine. My situation is very personal so I won't get into it with the world but all I can say is that people should make TOTALLY sure someone is feeling how they think they are,BEFORE they tear their head off and treat them bad AND hurt them because they may need them someday and then what?Their left with the memories of what was actually a solid friendship,gone wrong. Gone so wrong.

I, really liked this poem because it comes close to home in one of my past relationships.
Meeta
I read this poem. It touched me and only shows that as a human beings we are divided on the basics of race,nation etc but the feelings are same. Emotions are same and the thougts are same on our minds when we are especially betrayed by the person whom we love very much.
Zoe
your poem reminds me of everything i watch my dad go through. I am 16 years old and in the past year my dad has confided in me about his relationship with my mum, or lack of should i say. i cant help him, i only wish i could but they are adults now. thankyou for letting me see the things he cannot say. xx

This was a beautiful poem, Wikket. I understand what you're saying, and it has to be hard. It's these experiences though, that help you realize who you are and allow you to become stronger. Keep the faith. God bless you.
