Love Poem: Reality Check

Reality Check

Yesterday, you said that you loved me,
You said all the right things that made me happy
Yesterday, I dreamed of days filled with picnics and long walks,
Days of passionate kisses and long, interesting talks
Yesterday, you promised that you would always be here,
You said that together we could conquer all of my fears
Then, Reality Hit Me and I Was Forced to Face Today
Today, I feel lonely and confused,
My heart, body, and mind, have all been used
Today, my eyes are open wide,
They see the person that you tried so hard to hide
You hid behind those bright smiles and those sexy eyes
Who knew that promises of love and devotion were only well thought out lies
Today, I wish that yesterday was merely a dream
If only my pride, my secrets, my innocence could somehow be redeemed
Today, I have a choice to make
Hold on to hurt feelings as my heart continues to break
Or
Dust myself off, move on, and learn from my mistake
Now that I think about it,
The decision was quite easy to make
I almost forgot…
There’s always tomorrow
