clearly

i thought i could see clearly
clearly was an overstatement

there you were
an intruder in my concealment
leading me astray
insidiously blurring my vision

yet i pursued you without hesitation
uninterested in the warnings
how could i be so careless?

you brainwashed me
fed me lies upon lies
how could i be so stupid?

you made me feel precious
somewhat valuable
i took a chance on you

you were patient with me
carving away at the wall i had built
vulnerable,
i let you see the real me

you told me you were different
i believed you

we laughed together
made memories
i felt at ease with you

you told me you loved me
i believed you

all along
i was chasing a mirage
was it all a coax?

i reminisce about the smirk on your face
seeking your port in a storm
i wasn't the only one you made feel precious
there were others

i thought you loved me?

you told me you were sorry
but the damage you did was irreparable
you finally revealed your true colours
i couldn't forgive you

and suddenly
i could see everything clearly
