Guess it wasn’t real after all.
Guess I never knew what I had.
Guess it’s gone now.

My love, I miss you.
I don’t know why you’re gone.
I don’t know why you left me,
I don’t know why…

What we had was sacred.
A sacred lie.
But all good things must come to an end,
Or so they say.

We were the exception,
We were the ones to blame.

Someone fucked up.
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Or did we bring about our demise
Together?

We had a good run,
Now it’s time to say goodbye.
It’s cold
And dark
But I’m not afraid.

For where I’m going,
There will only be you.
A place without you is my definition of Hell.
But you’ll be there.
You promised me.
It’s the one promise you’re going to keep.

Ignorance is bliss.
So maybe I shouldn’t have known.
Maybe I should’ve stayed at home.

I don’t mean it.
I’m sorry.

I loved you.
It wasn’t real, but
I loved you.

I will always love you.

Author's Comments

It’s rather cryptic, and I apologise for that. I think it’s about a girl who commits suicide after either her lover cheats on her, or breaks up with her (if the latter, then he/she has been planning to do so for awhile).

It’s definitely a girl, because…well, I don’t know, it just feels like a girl. Probably because the lines in it which are not my own (The exception being ‘Sacred lie’ which was sung by Disturbed) were either said by or about girls. (Those being ‘Guess it wasn’t real after all’ sung by Amy Lee; ‘Was it something I did? Was it something you said?’ sung by Avril Lavigne; ‘A place without you is my definition of Hell.’ Said by Bella Swan (I’m sorry! I’m rereading Eclipse!) And ‘I don’t mean it.’ Sung by P!nk).

A friend of mine, the first person besides me to read this (in all its unedited glory) has likened this to his family problems...so I'm going to do something for him.




For Peter
Thank you for everything. You've been here for me through my recent struggles. I haven't known you for very long, but you've still been around through my worst time since 2004 and 2007.

I hope I can be here for you and help you in the way you have helped me.

You're such a great friend, and a wonderful mentor, and I will forever be in debt to you. You deserve so much more than you have.

I love you.

:love:

Cryptic and abstract, yet the meaning of the poem still stands there.

Deep, emotional and well planned out. Heartfelt. Something that an emotional poem like this exudes very well.

Good piece and a good read. Friends are important to us and the empathy others give us tends to surprise even the most prepared!

Thank you very much for your comment.

One line made me laugh. "Well planned out." I'm glad it seems well planned out to you, Laxaria, but it all honesty that's totally impromptu and unedited.

Everything else is correct, though. I just randomly started writing it because I had the first line stuck in my head (it's a line from Cloud Nine by Evanescence [link].html)

If you click on that link, bear in mind it won't work without the bit at the end, the .html, deviantART's just stupid and refuses to recognise it as part of a link.

Thank you again!

"I really dig it"

Nah, just got bored and searched by General Poetry. Found some awesome stuff.

I was wondering where you'd gotten me from, I've heard your username somewhere before, a friend of mine said it was their username for something.
