Love's Betrayal

His words were lies before they were spoken, a regurgitation of excuses. And a precursor to love's betrayal, deceit covers his trail of abuses. In his alternative reality, the truth transforms into hyperbole. And he can't distinguish the difference, even though it's so evident to me. He says that he loves me, but that's not true, I don't even think he knows what love is. He treats me like some kind of prized trophy, as though I was a possession of his. But love should stretch beyond physical needs, to encompass not only words; but deeds.
