The Beautiful Deception

Lies

Little and small.
For her I'll easily fall
Broken and beaten
Badly mistreated
Kept as a secret
Hidden alone
No place to call home
Can't trust myself
Because I put myself through
a very personalized hell.
She refused to go on
Claimed she wanted to hold on
Stay just for me
That was the promise she did not even try to keep
There were no lies
To her from me
I did not hide
Showed her my scars
Handed her my heart
Only to be brought to my knees
I was not needed
At least not for long
She kept me around
Long enough to go down
The said goodbye and I felt like I could drown
I was so blind
Sight stolen by the light in her eyes
Didn't even try to get away
Wanted to be by her side every moment of the day
Dreamed of her at night
Had only her happiness in sight
When she needed someone to hold
I was there for her to fold, inside my arms
But I was only doing harm
To every major part
Of my body brain and heart
Then came the lies
The i love yous and the other side
That I found out
I wasn't the only one
He had come
Made her laugh
And made her smile
As I hung back and died inside
He stayed with her and talked to me
As a friend or an old enemy
Whichever one I did not care
For he had taken her
And all I could do was stare
And blink as the tears rolled
My love was stolen
Given to him
And then forgotten
As yet another contender
In these games began to play.
My hell started visiting every single day
Greeting me with a smile
I had known all the while
That something so beautiful and something so sweet
Had a bad side
Like any old treat
Here comes the trick here comes the pain.
Love was lost in the rain
Washed away like it had never
been
I will never stoop so low again
