I Thought I Could Trust You

I thought I could thrust you
Ad went ahead and told you

Some things you shouldn't have known, i guess
But how could I know that you'd force me in this mess?

I really trusted you, you know
You were the first guy to who I was really able to show

Real, pure, friendly affection
And now here I am regretting...cause your friendship was a fiction

"If only I had known"...always the same phrase
It has become a refrain in my life, always always

What do I do now?
Watch you have your fun any how?

Man was I a fool
A total ridicule

To believe our friendship could be real
To believe in the way you made me feel

Now I know the truth
You never really cared did you?

You told me all these sweet things
So when the warning bells started to ring

I just ignored them; yeah cause I thought you were different
But now I see the real you; that you keeps showing itselfwithout relent

Damn was I blind
To believe you could be my 'friend'
I was never really on your mind
I bet inside I was your fiend.

good, I liked these questions :)

Man was I a fool, --> comma
A total ridicule. --> period

To believe our friendship could be real, --> comma
is to believe in the way you made me feel. --> period

Now I know the truth,
You never really cared did you?
I like this stanza, but you start out by saying "Now I know the truth," and then you ask a question. Maybe the second line should say "You never really cared." ...just a thought.

You told me all these sweet things. --> period
And, when the warning bells started to ring, --> change 'but' to 'and' - two commas
I just ignored them; yeah cause I thought you were different. --> period and get rid of the 'yeah'
But now I see the real you; that you keeps showing itselfwithout relent. --> period and the second part of this was a little confusing.
also, I thought you should combine these two stanzas. It flowed better in my opinion

Damn was I blind, --> comma
To believe you could be my 'friend'. --> period
I was never really on your mind, --> comma
I bet inside I was your fiend.


Sorry, these edits look a little scary. Feel free to take them or leave them, they are just my opinion. I wanted to try and be helpful, but if you like something better the way you have it then go for it! :) I really liked the message of this poem. Keep it up!

"I thought I could thrust you"
When I read that I thought it was funny because it sounds sexual...I know you meant to say "I thought I could trust you".
You also spelled "and" wrong after you said "I thought I could trust you"
There were some other problems as well...the overall poem is very good, it's just that you really need to double check your work before you submit it. Some people can be really mean about puncuation not being correct and all. I personally don't care if I know exactly what the writer is talking about.

You did a very nice job.

I love, love, love it... although, I really don't know how you can feel this way... *ahem*
Anyway, I like it a lot because it is very meaningful and there are so many things that one can see from your words although it's a poem about only one things.
Keep writing!
:)

I liked this. Good meaning, it's real.
I'd suggest punctuation. Everybody loves grammatically correct poems, right?
To start, there was one mis-spelling I caught, a couple M.I.A. commas, and some run-ons. Of course, this is poetry, so if the run-ons are intentional, let them be.
I love the first four lines.
Keep writing your heart out, muchacho.
It's pretty hard not to.
Thanks for the read.
