I Let Go
You left to prey on another innocent heart,
and yet, it came as no surprise;
after all, it was your signature move.
My subconscious wasn't willing to overlook the obvious,
and attach genuine feelings to love's fake facade.
Confused and lonely,
I allowed you to breach the walls
of my heart with your whispered, witty words.
But when we cuddled close,
your thoughts seemed so distant;
your mettle started showing signs of corrosion
and I tried buffing it with trust and love;
but to no avail.
I realized our goals would never align,
for I had to contort the truth to make it fit your lies.
And I got tired of hanging on to a lost cause;
and so, I let go!
