Today I stopped trying to be 'someone' for somebody
who never thought of me as anyone appreciated and important to them.
Inside I know the space I had for them is now crushed and broken.
Let the facts be out in the open and the truth be spoken.
In time it will be for the best, although I feel an emptiness
knowing what I considered worthwhile proved shallow and unreal.
I've learned sometimes emotions seem clearer than perception
and eventually can lead to a heartbreaking revelation
that someone cherished proves that their friendship was in fact deception.
I cry tears of realization that once again
I believed the lies that were in disguise and covered up.
Honesty was masked with coy flattery.
Why was I so darn naive?
I can and will move on, but I won't forget
I was forgotten and actually believed a lie.
Not a lie out of the mouth...but of the heart.
That piece of friendship is now torn apart....
I mustn't be sorry for the encouragement and love I shared
because I know what I offered was itself a dare.
A dare to let someone be a part of me...who didn't find a reason to care.
Moments like these are rare,
moments that I feel what I felt to be 'nothing' now and bare.
Thanks for the lesson learned and always remembered.
You were a 'lucky' someone who successfully got a part of the best of me.
Now I'll throw away the scattered and useless pieces and leave you be.
