Runaway Love.

How can you say that you love me, then stray, refusing to look back as you turn to walk away. I thought I had learned better, no longer naive. I believed I would see the dagger hidden in your sleeve. Like a mere fly, I was drawn to the web of lies that you deceitfully weaved. You pierced my heart with your venomous words, the ones you spewed as I slowly burned. Betrayal fills my wounds, the ones you created. I danced to your tune, yet it was never reciprocated. You expect me to carry on as if it were a simple deed, such hostility you concealed in your thin veil of greed. How can you confuse love for lust, when I had abandoned my reason and assumed it was trust. I will succumb to my sorrow and surrender my heart, the one you shattered and tore apart. I will forever remain scattered, throughout the memories within your brain. They will haunt your soul, torment you as you quickly grow old. Memories will appear in the creases on your face, the ones that our love would only have replaced. Tears stream down my face, as I remain questioning how I allowed myself to fall so far from grace.
