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
