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 was willing to overlook the obvious,
and attach genuine feelings to love's fake facade.
Confused and lonely,
I allowed you to breach the seal
on 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.
I became tired of hanging on to a lost cause;
and so, I let go!
