the light of truth

I've often wondered,

What emotions or

feelings you have

or once had

or at all...

Did I imagine this

connection we had

or was it to get

what you wanted

a step ahead...

It felt real

when we kissed

when we held

each other in

the quiet of the night

But you played

your part well

and left me

with my real

emotions and hurt

Tethered to a

well acted play

with a performance

unlike any I've seen

and the spotlight

Was not on you

but on me for believing

in a lie

and left standing

with remnants

Of well crafted

words that weaved

into every breath

you took from my lips

and left me in the light of truth
