BELIEF
i believed every lie you masterly sold me
over and over again.
like a moth to a bitterly cruel flame
you mercilessly consumed me
over and over again.
no remorse.
like i was a toy you enjoyed playing with.
no guilt.
like an animal you took pleasure in torturing.
you lied and you used me
for your own selfish means.
like a fish with a three second memory
or a child intent on the belief in santa claus
i lapped up your maliciousness
unable to believe your lies could be untrue.
you found in me something broken
that you knew you could abuse.
you saw the light in my heart
as a measure of my foolish devotion.
i believed in you.
i trusted you where before there was
only an absence of love.
you destroyed my faith and my will
without any semblance of decency.
the responsibility of surrendering
my heart to you was mine to hold
(and i can still remember you begging me for it)
but the ownership of that surrender was yours.
tell me something..
do you trace
every line
every curve
every fraction of her face
as you do mine?
