i knew

a long

time ago

but a part of me

refused to believe

i trusted you

you had my heart

i never thought

you would deceive

- me

- like this

you lied to me

in such an ugly manner

you lied to me

in such an ugly way

you lied to me

about loving you

but not today

and not tomorrow

not even the day after that

cause i know.

you don't love me

any more

this was your moment

this was your power play

and without a care in the world

for how you knew i would feel

you went and did it anyway

when i found you out

your face

oh my

believe me -

it broke me

to show you -

how i knew

and when i showed you

when i showed you

actual proof

all the threads

in your web of deceit

snapped under

the weight

of the truth

.

The path to acceptance is long and treacherous, like the fire, it too must be walked! How well? So far...so good 😁
