Nature's Echoes: Poems of Self and Emotion

Deceptive Reflections

Dear readers,

We all lie dont we?

We all lie to ourselves one point in our lives one way or another.

Its easy to lie to our selves ,
its easier to run away from the truth than face it.

And the truth is I wanted us to be something,

I saw potential and i dont see a lot in this day and age.

I let my guard down for a minute and let you in thinking that yes maybe I'll finally be happy.

But life had other plans and you werent in it. Yes for a split second, I saw a glimpse of what we could've been, what we would've been, and for a split second, I had hope.

And then reality hit me. The worse part is, it didn't even hurt because deep down I already knew, I knew what you were capable of and I continued anyway.

I lied,

I told myself we could do this, I told myself maybe if we waited, maybe if we tried.

But I'm so tired of failures upon failures and now you are a lesson, that's all you are and that's all you're ever gonna be.

Just a memory that will eventually fade.

I lied,

I told my self that it didn't hurt, but it did, it does............
