Beautiful Lies

You did it again,
Trampled all over me, like I'm some door mat.
Smiled sweetly, as you gutted my insides.
You played me like a puppeteer,
like a guitarist, you knew what strings to pull
so I was moving to your tune.
Didn't know what you were doing till you left
and I found you'd taken everything-
Given me nothing.
Never mind that you'd done it before.
I threw caution to the wind
and listened to your beautiful lies-again.
But even for that I could forgive myself.
I just cant forgive myself
for loving you still.

    There's always so much intensity in your poems, it's almost real. U're an excellent poet.

    Forgiving oneself is the first step to liberation...always...
