The Lie
THE LIE
I cried three days
before I walked out that door,
Your ridiculous behaviors
I couldn’t take anymore.
It was the brokenness of our marriage
that brought me down,
Where I sometimes still stray,
sadness on the ground.
The empty emotion on your face,
I simply couldn’t see,
That stoney coldness
Frightened me.
The compassion that you lack
Was such a shock
Left me reeling,
Heart heavy as a rock.
My life feels the loss of
What I thought I had
Not realizing until too late,
It was so bad.
How could I have been so blind
Not to see
That you wore a façade
Only meant to fool me
All along it was just a lie
And I’m such a fool
To have ever believed
In love or in you!
