Tears

Keep falling

can't stop

crying

nothing is fair

and nothing is kind

and everything hurts

all of the time

everything 

is twisted

in lies

and untruths

and gaslighting

and manipulating

and guilt tripping

and making me crazy

like I have lost my mind

like I am confused

like I can't remember

like I remember wrong

I am always wrong

and he tricked me

He tricked me

He.  Tricked.  Me.

He! Tricked! Me!

He tricked me

and I am the fool

and I saw the red flags

but I thought it was fine

I thought I was strong

and could handle it all

but he lied to me

and he tricked me

and then he made me feel crazy

and twisted and turned

the truth and the lies

until I thought it was me

For years and years and years 

and years and years

I thought it was me

I was so twisted up in his love

in his lies

in his tricks and deceit

and I loved

and I loved and I loved

so I forgave

and blamed myself

and carried on

and carried on

but the lies never stopped

and it just got worse

and one day I saw the truth

and I can't extricate myself from the lies

I don't know where they end

or begin

or if there is truth

or if it is all lies

Which part was true?

Is my entire marriage a lie?

What do I do?

and how do I carry on?

when the person I love

isn't anyone I know

when his lies are more normal

than truth is to me

When a lie is as simple as breath

and his subterfuge is impossible to see

and he twists and he twists

everything that I am

everything that I see

and I do not feel safe

it is like my whole life is a game and I have to question every single thing

was any of it real?

he has messed up my mind so completely

I don't know

except that I am broken

and he doesn't even flinch

when he tells me a new truth

that was a lie for so long

doesn't even flinch 

or show any emotion

when I am on my knees

unable to breathe with the shock of it

He just keeps on 

like it is normal

to drop a big lie bomb on your wife

like she should just endure it

just accept it

like she has for 14 years

broken

broken

broken

broken

and I don't know if theres enough

gold glue to piece me back together again
