Too Good to be True

 

by//hashbrown

 

Your love was too good to be true,

I wasn't lying when I said I loved you.

I don't want to live a day without you.

Waking up and seeing your face,

Only thing better is my God's amazing grace.

Or is that too good to be true as well?

Because my life right now feels like hell.

I pray to my God but can he really not hear?

Sneers and jeers from so called peers, saying my thoughts are not clear.

Your love was the only clarity in my life.

It's hard to believe you now find hilarity in my strife.

How can one person change this fate?

One person's thought turned your love to hate.

Why did you say things would be perfect forever,

If one little person could turn now into never?

If one person's opinion really matters that much,

Then why wasn't mine the one that left you untouched?

Too good to be true must be my life's theme,

Because I must be as dead to you as can be.

Very evocative piece! It has so much sadness, mixed with dulled resentment in it.

 

All the religious questioning, combined with the themes of peer pressure and rejection make this add up to a very relevant and easily indentifiable piece for countless people who have experienced a tumultuous teenage romance.

 

Great job!

Very good and deeply emotional poem! I can feel the sadness coming through by loosing the love of the person considered a forever partner all because of the words of those who have so much hate or perhaps envy.

Well written! I hope you have more to share with us!
