Truth by Tarna

You hold me in the arms you used to hold her
you kiss me with the lips that just left hers
you look deep in my eyes, after you flirted with her
It hurts unbelievably bad

The shoulder I used to find comfort in as mine
I now picture shared with her..
No longer do your hugs warm me as they used to
as much as I love them, I feel the cold of truth

You say you haven't held me in a while
it's because you have been busy holding her
You don't want to talk about it..
I don't want to think about it, but I do.

The special way you used to make me feel
No longer feels special knowing you give it to her
The strong feelings I have for you betray me
I now see a difference in those eyes I loved to look in

I know as I wash your clothes
as I shop for you, as I pay your bills
as I rub the kinks from your back, in love
You are giving your love to another, not me

It's not okay with me, I feel used,
I now question everything you do
I do the things I do out of love
I wonder why do you do them.

You say you love me
I have to wonder if you say that to all the girls
when there is no more I can give
and you have used me up, you will leave again

You asked me once.. What about love
I go back to my original realization
that there is no such thing as love
its just a word people use to fill their needs

Excellent
Wow! Very emotional piece. How you describe his features as being at one point comforting but now tarnished feels honest, and is therefore powerful to the reader. Great work, keep it up!
