The Real You

Don't tell me you love me,
When in fact you know you don't,
It hurts me on the inside,
Yet you continue to lie,
You tell people you are there for me,
When I know you aren't,
People ask if I'm okay,
But honestly I'm not,
You just sit there with a straight face,
So no one could the real you,
You show me that side everyday,
But when you tell me you love me,
I can see the disgust,
When we kiss,
I can taste the hate that you spout,
When can you tell me the truth,
Show them the the real you,
Instead of hiding from them,
You just don't want them to see the type of person you are,
But sweetie I know what type you are,
Thank you for being real with me,
But not with others,
I honestly can't deal with that type of person,
So I know who to trust and who not to.

Author's Note

I have just been thinking about a lot of things that have been going on in my life. All the drama, pain, and sadness I've been feelings...all the fake emotions that are just going to haunt me for a while.

All too true. I have seen these types of people time and again in life and usually it has to do with age and maturity, if that provides any hope for you. The structure here is fantastic and the emotions are as pure on the page as they are in your heart. Well done!

Thank you for the review. :)
Trust me I hate when people fake stuff and not show their real colors when they are out of a closed space.

Same here. I cannot stand when people do not do as they say they do or cannot show who they are in different situations

[Angie Diane♥♥]

People always will do that though...it is unavoidable.

you are aware and observant, lucid so not easily fooled, in the end it will always be you that rises and becomes more, everything in life has beauty and meaning, you are an intelligent one that will never hurt for long...

Nice poem, it accurately shows how untrue people can be to themselves and to others, avoiding the reality and true matters of the heart. I like this one.

This looks like the sorrowful result of a neglected relationship.
I pity the narrator (That being you Angie?).
There are not many right choices one can make in such a situation.

This is the perfect content to write poetry about.

This makes me (the reader) question the way I act towards those who i care about.

Thank you for the review. It was pretty much how I've been thinking lately. I do feel neglected by a lot of people...so I just got the emotions worked out.

Amazing poem, I love how you took the bad in your life and conveyed it into a poem about someone who does not show their true self, their darkside.
Well done! ^^
