Lies

By: Aimee c. Broadbelt

My love is for real.
your love is, too.
I hope to say
your dreams come true.

Our love was strong.
it felt forever.
But behind our wall
was a hidden lever.

The lever was pulled
with a forced good-bye
And revealed the
Underlining lies.

One face revealed my own desires
brought about in you.
The other revealed everything I despise
and that I never knew.

What is true
and what is false--
How can I separate the lies
that connect to my pulse.

My eyes are uncovered.
they see your faults.
They understand the
lessons taught.

The blinders were removed
a little too late.
My heart, soul & body
were taken as bait.

My trust is gone.
it laid in you.
Who will I tell
my secrets to.
