False Love
Lies and deceit . . .59 total reviews
Comment from ElegantButler
False love is the most painful trap of all. It sounds to me as though the strength was found to break free of this trap. A great poem. It speaks of the loss that such a trap can bring, even when we free ourselves of it. No winner, indeed. But sometimes the opposite of winning isn't losing.

Comment from Sis Cat
An effective and well rhymed poem about a relationship in turmoil through lies, cheats, and deceits. Poem has a rawness with its honesty although it is about the lies that drives one "to walk out that dirty door." This is an effective poem about the brutality in a dysfunctional relationship. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from nbonner
Great metaphor used here. All love is not good love. Sometimes you really think the person because they say all the right things then the "ugly" comes out. Unfortunately sometimes it takes us a long time to figure it out even though people around us keep telling us. I liked. Thank you for sharing and good luck on the contest

Comment from robyn corum
Linda,
It's a sad thing when we find out that people we place our trust in aren't worthy of it. It's as heart-breaking as the lost relationship in itself. A psychiatrist recently told me I have paranoid tendencies. I won't let people get too close to me for fear they'll hurt me -- simply because that follows past history. I'd never noticed until she said that, but it's true. Please take care of yourself. You're the only you you've got. *smile* Sending hugs --

Robyn: yes, there is only one of me and most of the time I like her! LOLOL Two people on this site and several at my church are letting me know they are interested. I am not nearly ready to begin all over. Thanks for reading and sharing of your own life. Linda

What power there is in your words, Lively Linda. Reinforced by the ideal picture you have chosen, by Lilia. I read your poem three times to absorb the deep message, and although I'd need to know more about the circumstances that prompted this work, I could feel your need to justify your feelings. Congratulations on the double awards.

Comment from Aussie
Good one 99. Liked your poem and it looks like everyone else did too! We never really know a person until things go missing or people just don't measure up to our expectations. Well done poet.

Aussie: realizing you are in love with and living with a sociopath/pathological liar/thief, etc. is a shock to ones system. RUN, RUN as fast as you can away from these people. They only use you then discard you and nothing is ever their wrongdoing. Thanks for reading. livelylinda

HUH? You are a nut case. I am in love with Toby, my 10yr old doggie! Ha, Ha, XXK.

This speaks about false love, how easy it is to realize the state of false and lies in action, nothing done as promised and the truth reveals at the end and brings happiness; I liked.

Wow, I don't know who this is about, or for whom, but I wish my brother could read this right now. This is exactly what he's going through. Wonderful Miss Linda, blessings...

Aw, prayers for you....my brother got married to a woman he'd been dating for 5 years, in April. Now he's filing for divorce, she's been cheating on him repeatedly...ah, well...
Comment from write hand blue
I imagine the 'dirty door' is a metaphor for walking out of a bad situation. Writing can act as a healing agent, like talking to a sympathetic listener.
I hope the situation is now resolved... ~Mel~

Comment from Fridayauthor
This is certainly not a fuzzy-feel-good poem, it is definately written with strong emotion in every line.
It is a take-a-breath and move on kind of poem.
You say what you feel very well.
Fine posting indeed.
