A Poem I Wrote In 2003 I found floating around the web today

Far From Fantasy

I dreamed of someone like you for so many years,
Someone to love and cherish
I found you my fantasy come true
Yet you did not show me the true you

How could I know you played me for a fool
I gave you my all for so very long
Yet you had nothing to give
Taking was all you knew

It hurt so bad the day you said
“I have to go”
I cried like never before
And never have again

Of course in my heart you were my true love
I was so young and happy; new to the world
And the hurt love could give
I thought you where happy too

Too late my eyes began to open
Before I knew the pain in store
If I only knew that true love was
Far from fantasy
