Cursed from the start

Every word he spoke strung together like a diamond necklace used as a noose around my neck. Each diamond, a beautiful lie, shaped into a cold dagger of what remained of our love.
I treasured them even when the necklace kept tightening.
We both knew from the start that it was all a lie, but it was a beautiful lie, and I wanted to let myself believe it was real, even if it was just for a short, fleeting moment.

Now I realize we were cursed from the start.
