POEMS WITH RUKENNY

YOU WERE A LIE

You became my worst nightmare

When I woke up to the reality

That you took all we shared mere.

I never see it coming

That you would leave a scar so taunting.

Like a broken glass,

My heart shattered in pieces.

Each piercing piece,

Reflected the moments we shared

And it hurts even more that all was built on lies.

Hid behind your smile

Reminiscing on how magical our first kiss was,

I cried a river

Knowing that was acted too

It was all you, acting

And me playing the fool

You were all a lie.
