The Liar and the Thief

I lied when I said I didn't care

Before you walked away

And when I told you, "Don't come back"

I wanted you to stay

When I said I didn't love you

The pain was on your face

I said it wasn't meant to be

I said I needed space

I told you I didn't need you

You hung your head and cried

I want you to know it wasn't true

I'm sorry that I lied

You stole my heart the day we met

And you never gave it back

And all the good you have inside

Is all the good I lack

You've taken all I had to give

You left my heart a void

Between us both we can't turn back

Our love has been destroyed

You're better than me, you always were

And though this love was brief

I'll never forget the love we had

The liar and the thief

First off, congratulations on winning 1st place in my contest! I really enjoyed reading this... they rhyming is wonderful, and it flows really well. It resonated within me, because I've felt the pain in your words. It is a disastrously beautiful poem, and I love the title/last line... "the liar and the thief"... it's got a great ring to it, speaks volumes.

Once again! A wonderful poem from you.
And though this love was brief
"I'll never forget the love we had
The liar and the thief"
I have been on both sides of this so I have to smile the words are so true.
This is one that many can relate to regaurdless of the side you fall. We win some we lose some but we learn from them all. An amazing write as you seem to do over and over again. I look forward to reading more of your work as you put it out there to be read.

This is pretty good. Such a conflict of need and denial
