"You Built a Lie"
poem

"You Built a Lie"

You looked me dead in the eyes and lied,

Fed me fairytales while my truth died.

You built a world that never was real,

Made me believe in a love I couldn't feel.


I gave you trust, you cracked it in two,

I gave you my soul, you used it for fuel.

I was in the dark, calling your name,

While you laughed behind me and played the game.


Every promise was poison, every vow was fake,

You watched me break and called it a mistake.

I believed in us, I believed in you,

Turns out I was believing in nothing true.


You stole my light and left me cold,

Traded my loyalty for dirt and gold.

I didn't walk away because I wanted to teach you a lesson..... I walked away because I've learnt mine, I'd rather adjust my life to ur absence than adjust my boundaries to accommodate your disrespect!

I’m not crying now, I’m done with that,

I’m spitting fire and I’m coming back.


So keep your lies, keep your mask,

Keep the ashes of the love you couldn’t ask.

You broke my trust, but you won’t break me,

I’m rising up from what you couldn’t see.


Goodbye to you- someone I once thought was my safe spaceβ€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή
