Sadder, But Wiser

Caught up in your words of sincerity Closest of friends, we shared from our hearts Twisting the truth was your reality. A wounded soul, you craved security I wanted to help you, to do my part Caught up in your words of sincerity. You shared past hurts, had a sad history It was important to make a fresh start Twisting the truth was your reality. Naive, I bared my soul too easily But you had a manipulative heart Caught up in your words of sincerity. In time, I found out you had lied to me You took what you needed, as I fell apart Twisting the truth was your reality. The sorrow remains, as I take my leave A life lesson learned, at least on my part Caught up in your words of sincerity Twisting the truth was your reality. Written on 3/20/2015
