Heartbreak Poem

Poem About Not Wanting To Hear Lies

I wrote this poem for my husband. I wanted him to know how I feel and how much it hurts to be lied to. He's the love of my life, my soul mate, my friend.

Look Me In The Eyes

©

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2009 with permission of the Author.

      Look me in the eyes
      And tell me what you see.
      My hopes and dreams are shattered.
      Is there no future for you and me?
      I love you more than I ever thought I could.
      Someday I thought we would find happiness,
      Like every couple should.

      Look me in the eyes.
      For once tell me the truth.
      Did you ever love me? 
      Please don't make any excuse.

      Look me in the eyes.
      Can't you see my pain?
      My heart is breaking;
      I have no one else to blame.

      Look me in the eyes.
      Can't you see my fear?
      If I'm losing you,
      God take me away from here.

      Look me in the eyes.
      You'll see how much I care.
      The tears roll slowly down
      Then vanish in thin air.

      Look me in the eyes.
      Can't you see my hurt?
      If not when I'm awake,
      Then do it while I sleep.

      Look me in the eyes
      At least once before I die.
      You will see the memories
      That we shared through our
      children. So...

      Look them in the eyes,
      Let them know you care.
      Let them know you love them
      And that you will always be there.

      Look them in the eyes.
      Please don't wait until it's too late.
      Look them in the eyes,
      Only speak the truth.
      Lies can hurt forever
      Some hearts get too torn to mend.

      Look them in the eyes.
      They will always need a friend.
      Look them in the eyes,
      Never let it end.
      Then do it while I sleep.

When I read this made me want to cry.
My husband I love more then I can even put in words .

I am scared of loosing him I think about it often how he tells me he's not as happy in our relationship then I am.

He use to be so sweet he knew how to do and say the right things .
I remember how he use to look at me, he wrote in the sand I love you to me, kind caring. He's like another man now I feel I'm more of a burden then a wife.

I'm scared I really think its a matter of time before he leaves me he has told me a lot he wanted to leave still hoping he's still with me because he loves me.

There isn't much I wouldn't do for him I know we have kids and all we can just go and come when we please .

I wish the men in our life knew what they had in front of them.

This poem is excellent. As I read it, this lump in my throat got bigger & bigger.
Why are men so clueless?

This poem look me in the eyes. Really hit me hard. What I got out of it was the same thing that was going on between me and my ex-boyfriend. He needed to open his eyes and see what was in front of him. Not on the outside but looked what he had on the inside all the love showed and tried to give but he never wanted to receive. I don't know but it just hit me that I can't even write about it.. Thanks

It's weird how things are!
I wish I could hate you but I can't
How can I not hate you after all you done
After all the pain you made me go threw
How??? That's the question I ask myself everyday.
