Delusion

I thought we were something great
And now it's all over
Because you clothes-lined me, mate
In your game of red rover.

I thought you spoke truths,
Maybe it was but laced within lies.
With displayed behavior so uncouth
And exaggerated dialogue is your disguise.

I fell for your façade, again.
Now it's my fault.
It was your problem, then.
You always bring us to halt.

I'm just trying to get out my emotions; 
I know I'm being so very redundant.
You're crazy and predictable as the waves of the oceans.
I just need to protect myself, and strive for abundance.

Nice write, and keep in mind, even the best relationships can be delusional, just wrapped in more love than hate...and a 7 simply for the red rover reference :)
