Lost in Your Illusions

The promises you made,

I clung to them like hope.

Your soothing words, so warm,

Helped me survive, helped me cope.

The lies you spun like silk,

I unraveled the bitter truth,

But still, I held on tight,

Listening to your every move.

Every word you spoke,

I swallowed like it was real.

Every trick you pulled,

I let myself feel.

Your flawless performance,

I mistook for sincerity.

You stayed a maze I wandered,

Blind in my naïveté.

See how simple I was,

In you, I found my sky,

I thought I understood everything,

But now, I understand goodbye.
