Nebula of Lies

You had me
for a year, I believed it all was true.
Every moment, every action,
how could it not be?

Like a serpentine snake,
you slithered inside my mind, my body,
squeezing out all my trust,
all I believed in you.

You made me lower my guards.
I believed.
I wished I didn’t.

You showered me with love,
a cascade, a toxic waterfall,
drowning me in a myriad of lies,
your words with a cruel lilt,
twisting truth like a blade.

Like a lunar glow, you fooled me,
your eyes deceiving.
I fell, head over heels.

Now I’m stuck, haunted like a nebula
that never fades.
