This Was Not True Poem by ANJALI SINHA

This Was Not True

Rating: 4.8


Why say I love you,
When you really don’t care,
Why say hello,
When you really mean goodbye.

Don’t tell me your feelings,
Did you ever have them,
Why hold my hand gently,
When you meant to crush my heart.

Don’t write me poetry,
It was meant for another,
Don’t look into my eyes,
Coz it was always lies.

Why do you say---
I was “going to---“
When you never meant to start,
Now promise me,
You’ll be true,
Tell me all this was not true.
