Oblivious

All these promises,
left unsaid-
so misread
cause you'd rather feel the guilt instead.
Not quite understanding,
grasping the truth
toxic puzzles
repeating tiles of disaster
always this beginning with you
hating to admit it
excusing all flaws 
my heart can't take it-
triggering the kryptonite
and your eyes grow oblique
in your ceased body
and just when I almost believed..
I stepped out of the game
and the epiphany set in
there was nothing to begin with-
imagination that was changed.

A promise is a promise - one comes furthest with the truth. Very well written Sarah. - Oxox love Anne-Lise :)
