falling fences, your lies cripple my defenses

love blinds
disguising all your injustices
with pretty smiles and charismatic compliments
your words have sharper teeth than your mouth
was it always just a show?
an opportunity to see how good of an actor you’d make?
you call me crazy
and maybe i am
but that’s just the way that you have made me
you and your endless unpredictability
no wonder i have been led to insanity
i’m pretty when i cry
is that why you love me?
someone to disparage and deprecate
while you admire my ornamental beauty
the perfect heartbroken accessory
falling victim to your narcissistic power trips
i though you were the one
but all you wanted was to win
so you slowly tear us apart
replacing a refuge with ruins
one barb at a time
and yet, it’s
all
my
fault
i’d say you ripped us apart with your bare hands
but you aren’t one to get your hands dirty
are you?
so here we are
the liar and the fool
beautiful in our tragic misery
you wove a web of lies
but i was the only one caught
i’ve been disillusioned
but i’ll never forget the girl i once was
you found me alluring in my naivety
your love was nothing more than a facade
is my epiphany ugly?
i hope so
