I didn't fall in love with him, I fell in love with his potential. I romanticized his possibilities, instead of what was evidential. I fell in love with who he could be, But not who he actually was. I bargained with empty promises, for his false pretenses of love.
Tag: Lies
Sprinkled
Sentences sprinkled with white pixie dust and blue smitten lies... Hold words crafted carefully to keep the truths disguised.
Apparently
Secrets, sentiments, stories, and lies... You speak only bullshit to get between thighs...
Like Clockwork
My inadvertent pattern of being pursued, subdued, and then emotionally misused.
Blind
I've become blinded
to my own reflection...
Clear beauty miraged
by my own self-deception.
Drunk
You can tell me
what you think
whenever you’re
drunken at night…
Yet you can never
find the right words
when you’re sober
in the daylight.
Mementos
All those little things
you left behind
are now my
sullen trinkets.
The lost, lonely artifacts of us,
now only meaningful to me.
Lifted
My secrets
made me feel temporarily invincible.
My lies
made me feel permanently suffocated.
My honesty
made me feel breathtakingly free.
Caught
It was a
web of lies
so intricately
spun…
I couldn’t
tell where it
ended…
Or how it
had even
begun.
