Live Laugh Love ~Unknown<br /> I&#039;m selfish, impatient, a little insecure but if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best ~Marilyn Monroe <br /> Dream as if you&#039;ll live forever. Live as if you&#039;ll die today. ~James Dean

You said you were clean
You promised you were
But you lied.

You said no more
You said never again
But you lied.

I wish it weren't true
I wish i didn't happen
But you lied.

Our hearts are broken
You may not have meant to hurt us
But you lied.

You betrayed us
The trust is gone
Because you lied.

When I found out my uncle had misused drugs for the 3rd time, I was devistated and so angry at him so I wrote this poem that he will probably never see.
