The backstabs,
The pretenses,
And the lies,
To name a few.
I know them all,
Nothing is left.
When realization
Dawned on me,
It was a bitter truth.
I pinched myself over
And over; i thought it
Was a bad dream.
I endured it all,
Just until you
Performed a
Confidence trick
With my heart.
What a scam!
Still, I persevered
Foolhardily, hoping
You will change.
The fool you think
I am, will last, but
Only for a while.
When I awake
From my slumber,
You will let me be.
Nothing will make
Me change my mind,
Not even the sweetest lie.
