Amy Ferguson Poet I do not know?

Perfect

So this is my life… 
I cried... as I stared at the ceiling
So this is my life…
It crossed through my mind again

Sixteen years I've wasted…
Sixteen years just stopped… 
Just devastated… 

I would have stayed forever you know
I would have continued to give my all
But lies have a way of destroying… 
One lie tore down my “perfect walls”
 
Could I have rebuilt that image? 
And still stayed true to myself?  

One look at the mate I had chosen…
Sealed fate 
My heart put our marriage to an end 

I’m sorry it stopped so abruptly
I’m sorry that “time” couldn't heal
But when I look upon my lovers face
I need to know it’s real

I walked away that summer
I rebuilt my life again
With truth about myself  
Truth about him
 
“Perfect walls” 
“Perfect people”
“Perfect marriage”

Don’t deceive yourself in that lies image.
