You left to prey on another innocent heart, and yet, it came as no surprise; after all, it was your signature move. My subconscious wasn't willing to overlook the obvious, and attach genuine feelings to love's fake facade. Confused and lonely, I allowed you to breach the walls of my heart with your whispered, witty words. But when we cuddled close, your thoughts seemed so distant; your mettle started showing signs of corrosion and I tried buffing it with trust and love; but to no avail. I realized our goals would never align, for I had to contort the truth to make it fit your lies. And I got tired of hanging on to a lost cause; and so, I let go!

Excellent take on this challenge and a wonderful piece of writing! I would have guessed your poem came before the challenge, because nothing felt forced whatsoever to meet the requirements. Awesome job! A fave for me and a winner, I hope ~
