Unspoken Melodies: Poems That Sing

I Knew All Along

I knew you were going to break my heart,
But I loved you irrevocably from the start.
I knew your whispers were nothing but lies,
But I craved them, I was willing to compromise.

As the days passed, my fears grew stronger,
But I was too late, I couldn't hold back any longer.
Your kiss, your touch, they felt sublime,
I was unable to distinguish between the truth and the crime.

My heart was yours to keep and to hold,
But you played me for a fool, you left me cold.
I tried to resist, I tried to escape,
But I was trapped, I couldn't find my shape.

My friends warned me, my family said no,
But you were the only one who could make me glow.
I was aware of all the signs,
But I ignored them, I was blind.

I knew you were going to leave me high and dry,
But I was addicted, I couldn't say goodbye.
Your promises were empty, your words were hollow,
But I held on, I refused to let go.

You shattered my heart into a million pieces,
Leaving me to pick them up, hoping to find some releases.
I tried to hate you, I tried to forget,
But you were engraved in my heart, like a silhouette.

The memories of us, they haunt me till this day,
Reminding me that love can sometimes lead us astray.
I knew you were going to break my heart,
But I still carry the weight of knowing, torn apart.

I thought I could mend it, I thought I could heal,
But patches couldn't save it, it wasn't enough of a seal.
I was warned, I was told,
But I was too young, too reckless, too bold.

Now here I am, with nothing in hand,
Stranded on the shore, trying to make sense of the sand.
I knew you were going to hurt me,
But I didn't know the pain was going to be so worthy.

I learned my lesson, I paid my price,
Love can be a gamble, and sometimes it isn't nice.
I knew you were going to break my heart,
But I took the risk, and now I must depart.
