If You Knew How Poem by david lessard

If You Knew How



If you knew how,
to take the pain away,
why didn't you?

If you knew how,
to end this long charade,
why did you not?

You only pretended
to be
what I thought
you were.

I was a person with
feelings
and emotions
and i loved you.,
and you gave me nothing
for all those years.

People all love you
and think that
you are wonderful
(I think
you think
your wonderful yourself)
You are not.

You may fool others
and you did fool me
but it's over now
and I'm rid of you
and I'll not give you
anything back either

You played the game
exceptionally well.
The injured party.
But all the time
I was the one injured.
The one with serious wounds.
You gave to me,
a slow death.

How could you be that way?
