I'm No Longer There

I'm sitting here
all alone,
Abandoned, pregnant,
With no one to
call my own.
You left me with constant lies,
Ringing in my head,
Confused, disorientated,
You might as well left me for dead.
I don't need you,
I have my friends by my side,
They've seen the oceans,
I've cried and cried.
So I sit on this swing,
Remembering the times,
You've rehearsed in your head,
All the lines.
You lied about who you
were with,
What you do,
You even lied to me,
Saying I was the only
one you screwed.
You flirted with my friends,
Blamed them too,
But guess what?
It was all you.
You were the one who wasn't
true,
I'll not take the blame,
Who stands by you now,
Whilst others take aim?
'You cheating scum',
Yet I still loved you so,
The smartest thing I did,
Was turn and go.
So tell me now,
Who do you call,
To pick you up,
As your worlds starts to fall?
It won't be me,
I won't be by your side,
Neither will the others,
To whom you lied.

Life is so hard to some yet it is probably already written someplace as to what we do or where we go, your ending lines brought out the old saying of what goes around comes around, but hold no hate for any person in your heart as it will only fester and make you sore, maybe not in body but in Spirit it will only help if you learn to love those B's, well written and I hope all will be well when life is once again started, Yours Ian.T

lies

In the solitude of a forgotten love We reside oblivious of darkened silence. Tell that friend, She got his in At her behest No man can ever do With-out a yes from you All men are not bastards They want a go Then they let you go. So I also know of a woman, Where her soldier hubby Is looking after their infant As a single mommy and poppy Put together. Now don't cry Either have an abortion Or take the bold step Let the new one, Take his first earthly step. LOVED BY ONE AND ALL
