So true. No matter how many times you smack yourself in the forehead and go "DUH" you still just keep believing. I mean, maybe the next person to come around really does mean what they say...right? Great poem.

this is a great poem! i loved reading it! i think that a lot of people can relate to it...i know that i can. GREAT JOB! :D

i love the last few lines, and you get the mood exactly. ^_^" you really do write good poems. :) :D XD

Okay, first I thought this poem was very well written. Excellent job. And second I love this poem!! I can't really explain what I like in particular because I just love it all! lol But, really this poem is terrific. I know what you mean when you say "I am still unable to see through such a simple lie." The truth is is that we all want to believe a lie sometimes. Because otherwise it might hurt to know the truth or even accept it. Sometimes it's easier to believe a lie than it is the truth. Amazing job! Please keep writing.
