Keep searching for sympathy, because this time you won't find it from me. The burden of your lies must have eaten away, they tore you down to oblivion. But still you smile at my naivety and prey on the love, which was unconditional serenity. Tonight you have been exposed, the way you conquered me with lies and seduced me with love. Do you feel any guilt or remorse? Or merely shame, for this animal you could not tame. How does it feel to no longer be able to keep a hold on the one man whom treated you more precious than gold. Yeah, how does it feel to no longer have control? Tell me now, how does it feel to have your lies steal your soul? I'll take in all of the pain, but I know now, that I am not to blame. There is no validity to your excuse, and I refuse to be devoured by your abuse. I perceive nothing except your deceit, my transformation is now complete. Your lies transpired the beginning of my demise. My loss of love has left me empty, and cold inside. These words, they are apathetically inspired derived from your adulterated desires. Your pathetic existence is tumbling down, this little secret has come to light, your facade has reappeared, but only to beat you now. Take a look at what you've become, distant to even me, your love. A monster I can no longer recognize, not willing to try to decipher the truth from the lies. I'll push you away like a sigh ignored and denied. I can't sacrifice another moment of my time, I am in control of what is now mine. What would it take to make you understand? I just can no longer pretend. I was right about you, so go on and make a mess of yourself, and suffer in, your own decadence. |

Metamorphosis for the worse, and you unfolded the story so well. Enjoyed the write, the pain… not so much. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Peeling back the layers as we get to know someone better and better can give us more and more to love... or expose a heart of rot and knowledge we loved an illusion. This is a gripping, intense write! |

I am really sorry that you endured so much heartache. However, it is always best to get out of such a relationship, and your consolation is that your eyes were opened and you did get out of it and with yourself intact. Well done for that! Now you can start to put it behind you and give yourself the respect you deserve. Owl |

Thank you for the kind words. The past is so easily understood, it's a shame the present isn't always. |

Recognizing the poison is the first step... Avoiding it then becomes essential. Been there, my friend. It does get easier. Michael |
