Storylines
False masks
Pretty pictures
Perfect words
You played the victim behind the mask
Fake tears
False promises
All lies
Left doubts and insecurities
Consciously aware of the harm you caused
I was about us
You was about you
You portrayed to be someone you were not
We were your fools
You took advantage
I created space
You apologized
I forgave you over and over again
You sold me a dream
I wore rose-colored glasses
I had hope as the cycle continued
I lived in the recent past and feared the future
You lived in the future focused on your mission
I was down to do the work
You was down for you
You made me believe you’d change
Until I discovered more of your dirt
Come to find out you will always be all about you
You built our family on lies
I got tired of trying
So I packed your bags and sent you to the one person you’d never let down
YOU
