Love's Betrayal
His words were lies before they were spoken;
a regurgitation of excuses.
And a precursor to love's betrayal,
deceit denies 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 do not believe he knows what love is.
He treats me like I am a prized trophy;
as though I was a possession of his.
True love stretches beyond physical needs,
and encompasses wishes, hopes, and deeds.
