you said so many things
and I believed all of it
only to find out that what you portrayed yourself to be
is someone else and not you
i fell in love with a person
that isn’t you
I don’t understand all the lies
all the calculated and deceitful things
it broke me down to my very core
but then despite of it all
i still love you
tell me what it takes to make you feel validated
a demeaning word here and there
you think you’ve won
but each time you throw a jab
you become lesser and lesser
how i trusted you
how i placed all my hopes and dreams but as it turned out i fell in love with a fake persona
you stole that from someone else
how could you
authentic? there is truth in authenticity but you ain’t got none
so baby, imma slam this door
