Falsehoods

by De - Taurus

It really would be nice, you know, 
If you told me the truth sometimes.
I'm not the type to get mad at facts;
I'm the one who gets frustrated by lies.
I tell you the most truth that I can
Hoping to satisfy the questions you ask,
But in turn when I inquire a simple answer,
You cannot seem to fulfill the task.
Not that I'm angry at you
Nor do I want to see you harmed
For when we first met it was not truth that I sought,
I was attracted by your gentlemanly charm.
Maybe I should have noticed it earlier,
How shallow I must have been.
I was so amused by your beauty
That I didn't notice the ugly lies within.

Reason for writing:

    I went out with this guy for maybe 7 or 8 months. We had grown really close I thought. He was my ideal guy. The one that I always had hoped for. Then I found out that he had been cheating on me the whole time. I was devastated and I wrote this poem because of that.
