What I Knew

You stand in front of me. I look at you and wonder how. I saw you as I wanted you to be Although I see the difference now. What happened, that I turned away? Not wanting to face what I knew. Was I making believe that all was okay? No illusions, I knew what I had to do. I notice that you won't look me in the eye, But I know deceit is reflected there. I know of all the times you chose to lie, no decency lies within you, anywhere. I know about you, each and every little thing. The price was high, the cost was a piece of me. The darkness in you, was so encompassing But what is left, I celebrate, I am free!
