ART MUSIC POETRY

The Poetry of Michael Langston


(30) I SUPPOSE THEY WEREN'T REALLY LIES

I know you weren't really lying
When you said those things to me:
"I'm not giving you up for nothing."
"You mean more to me than anything."

At the time you said them,
They were true:
"I love you so much."
"I love you."

"You're so precious."
"You're my world."
"What would I ever do...without you?"

But your feelings changed (so you went away),
And you did what you thought you had to do.
You couldn't help it.
I understand...

"You have a future with me if you only knew it."
"Someday I want to have your kid."
"We're the same as married."
"I'm hanging on to him."
"God, I love you!"
