Wicked Lies

He feigned the words of a broken heart.

Of a lost heart, of seeking heart.

He lead me to fall apart of the progress I had made,

But,

Not for long.

He was like a shot of depression infused into my veins.

Tempting me to fall back again.

In those few minutes,

I did.

But I no longer have the defenses

I had before.

And I am not fighting my battle alone anymore.

Can you hear in the way I talk?

Can you feel it in the way my heart beats

The way I breathe a little normally?

The temptation is no longer…tempting.

I don’t have the urge to submerge.
