a part of me wanted to believe
in you and every word you said
you made my heart crack open
after being closed for years
created butterflies that long ago
had dissipated into dust
you made the mornings brighter
helped me smile through
mundane daily tasks and
I would have taken the risk
if you wanted to take it too
you made me feel special –
that someone out there
wanted ba connection as well
you created a spark within
with your kind words, if only
I could have believe in them
but the lies you told were
too bright to ignore

Oh - to be blinded be the light of lies. So sweet until the lamp is shut off.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely heartbreaking. It's so hard to tell when someone you love is lying and so easy to be taken in, even when we vow not to get fooled again as we cement up the cracks in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteheartbreaking when the bad bits suck all the good stuff away
ReplyDeleteBright lies should not be ignored.
ReplyDeleteWe kiss a lot of frogs ... but one day our prince will come! Your frog experience was described so well in your poem.
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartwrenchingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is heart wrenching. Lies go down so sweetly, but come back up tasting of acridity. You have described it well
