Shadows of Lies

Every waking day
reliving this heartbreak,
secret messages you sent
as if you could feel

How could you?

Behind all those smiles,
hidden was the real you
a shadow of lies,
floating restless
in my head.

Whispers from your lips
tainted words,
poisoned promises
in everything you ever said.

You told me
You cared.
You told me
You loved.
You told me
I was home.

You promised
you would never hurt me.

Proof you’re a liar
you did me dirty.

You made a pit stop,
you went on a date,
you made up your mind.

You decided
I want her in my life.

I wish I never cared
so I could forget.

I wanted us
forever.
