I opened my eyes one day and I saw it,

Staring right back at me I saw every bit

Nothing you said was true

But I wanted to believe you were the one

Who would have saved me from my self afflicted demons. 

Of all  the persons in the world, how could it be

That you could just stay there and lie to me?

You lied!

Trust shattered

Love no longer mattered

I could see right through 

That cold and callous heart beating inside of you

You were my self-proclaimed superhero

My safe place to go  

But your selfish desires became your life

And the lies became the knife

That inflicted wounds so deep 

My daily torture even when I closed my eyes to sleep

You lied.

I remained committed to the few pieces of you that seemed unbroken 

The hope I had for words never spoken

You were something I held unto not in my heart but my head

But this path in life I should never again be lead

And I know a leopard can never change its spots

And I should have done right by me back then with that chance I  had got

I still do wonder how could it be

That I allowed you to destroy some of the most precious parts of me?

You lied.
