Facade

"You know that I love you,

You are the only person in this world who knows the real me.

I am sorry I didn't treat you so well."

Blah, blah, blah.

It's the same rhetoric I heard for years.

In the past your words would confuse me,

I would start at "A" and end at "36",

There was no rhyme or reason,

To defend any argument because I was so lost.

You would stab me in the heart with your actions,

Then hug and kiss me and tell me how sorry you were,

And I would believe you in a delusional way. 

But that was then, and now is very different.

Time has separated our entanglement and I wonder,

What is the point of sharing feelings,

More so, what is the point of bringing up anything,

That has no relevance to our lives today?

I was lucky enough to see the light,

And escape the darkness you introduced me to.

And to think I want any reminder of those days,

Is clearly an inaccurate assumption.

You were a facade...

A leach of sorts who sucked anything good from me,

To better yourself. 

And at expense of what, the collapse of my spirit?

But not anymore love,

Your web of lies and foolish behavior,

No longer fool me.

I see right through you and your every effort,

To try and make me feel bad.

I have nothing to regret, I harbor no ill feelings,

And to be quite honest,

Wish nothing but the best for you.

You were a huge lesson in my life,

And for that, I will be eternally grateful.

So today, all that is left to be said is,

Adios, Au revoir, Goodbye~
