Confessions

I'm a liar
I've played a trick on myself all these years
I thought I believed
But I don't

There is no such thing as
True Love
It's something that only exists in fairy tales
And happily ever afters
But this is no bedtime story

My broken heart can finally stop beating
It lives on its own time now
Forever pounding
Forever on its own

These tears that cascade down my cheeks
Illuminate the sparkle in my eye
My destiny is for my choosing
My fate my own

Forever marching to a different beat
Forever single
The lies end now

Suddenly and swiftly it ended
Hurt and confused I stumble
A wave of overwhelming emotion washes over me
I welcome the tears that stream down my face

Unceremoniously they cleanse my sorrow
Purge my insides
Unlock the wall I've built inside
And free my bridled passions

Why is it those you care about
Are the ones who suffer the most?
Why do we allow ourselves to be led on
By someone we'd give the best to?

Not anymore
But not anymore
Passion gives way to indifference
Apathy sets in

Lovers become friends
Suddenly and swiftly
