Truth Decay

The day he moved in he started 
packing all of her away.
She barely even noticed her 
personal truth decay. 
Her mirror reflected shadowed eyes, 
echoed her quiet dismay.
Without a breath in her defense she 
was a captured castaway.
She barely even noticed her 
personal truth decay. 
Naively she didn't stand as he kept 
her friends at bay.
Without a breath in her defense she 
was a captured castaway.
The home that she had filled with 
dreams disappeared when she 
disobeyed.
Naively she didn't stand as he kept 
her friends at bay.
Her mirror reflected shadowed eyes, 
echoed her quiet dismay.
The home that she had filled with 
dreams disappeared when she 
disobeyed.
The day he moved in he started 
packing all of her away.
