This poem, False Love, seems to be the victory acknowledgement after an escape, for lack of a better term, from a bad relationship. A cheat will indeed lie to the end of the earth.

This is a powerful write, full of strong emotion, with good flow and progression.
I liked the incidental rhymes and the photograph you chose complements it very well. Thanks for sharing.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This was very powerful, lots of emotion that almost always follows a breakup. There are many who can relate, myself included. I also liked the picture that you used.

False love happens more and more often these days with social media and dating sites being one of the biggest causes. I enjoyed your poem and I'm sure there are countless people who can relate.

It is amazing what people do behind closed doors, unthinkable things. Your poem brings to light how important instinct is. If it is too good to be true it probably is, so if you have a bad feeling in any situation escape if you can.

    Yes, the beginning was too good to be true . . . I should have listened to my head, not my heart. Thanks for reading. livelylinda

We all like to believe that we weren't wrong to love the person who hurts us most. There are always excuses, they make to us and we make for them. I'm glad you broke away Linda, that is no way to live your life. You have to be free to be you. Well done, my friend. You wrote this beautifully. :) Sandra xx

This talks of getting free from love that is binding and not freeing. Love should let you be yourself and not create fear in doing just that. This tells of hope of a happy life after learning what good love is like. Finding a clean and quiet door instead of a loud and dirty one.

Keep writing

Deceit is written into the heart of some people, and no amount of cajoling or conscience will remove, it's a sort of pragmatic and temporary solution to what will cause a lot of angst later. Well done, Linda, some great, emphatic dialogue in your work, and excellent strategic rhyme to give it strength, well done, blessings, Roy

Hiya
This poem made for an enjoyable yet somber read. It flowed very nicely. Comprehensible and straight to the point.
The emotional reflections are insightful and impressive. Excellent choice of words.
It is has a good tone and the language used created marvellous imagery.
