I Lied
I looked at your picture and I cried
Then I prayed to God,and asked him why
Somehow it still doesn't seem fair
That the love of my lifes no longer there
I write pretty stories and I cover alot of ground
I write of true love and love that can't be found
You know darlin that it all a lie
I'd give anything if it was still you and I
Things were so different when it was truely us
Now my angel wings have surely turned to rust
I still wear your name and carry it with pride
I write so much of hunting for love,God knows i lied
So today I tell the truth and admit to fact
When you went to heaven you took my heart
and haven't sent it back
Tonight I'll sleep alone in the queen size bed
hugging the pillow on your side
Tomorrow I'll write of sex or love and again I lied.

RE: I Lied
A very enjoyable piece; I found the title intriguing and was drawn in; personally I've never supported the idea of lying, but I may have allow an exception, based on your poem; I can't imagine your pain of loss, although I've experienced the agony of divorce (which is similar in its heartwrenching affect); nicely done. --Joe

Thanks
Joe I have been both divorced and a widow.Being a widow is by far the worst you can't even be angry at anyone like in a divorce.You can't talk it over or try to work it out it is just final.Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

Writing from your heart
Gloria,
I feel that this piece is a wonderful tribute to your late husband. It's so intense full of loving and longing that its message shines through.
Be happy in the fact that he is watching over you,

Thank you very much. He was a wonderful man and 52 was way to young for him to die.Sometimes the pain and emptiness is just to much to ever fill.
