you looked so good from far away…
there was a part of me that longed for this fantasy to forever stay…
never could see the consequences behind the promises in his eyes…
the hardest truths to swallow are the ones you hide behind your own lies…
gave my heart to more than one…
but I didn’t see it that way when all was said and done…
on the surface I was faithful but emotionally divided…
I grew up with the notion that love was always supposed to be one sided…
I had to learn I alone was enough…worthy of my own love and care…
no longer do I wish to run away and have guilt weigh on the heart I wear…
we find ourselves in the moments we are fully stripped bare…
