Deception

Little white lies,
deception creeping in,
manipulation shrouded.
Pain.

Mistrust growing,
disillusion entangling the heart,
uncertainty swirls.
Sadness.

Good intentions,
saving hurt feelings,
illusions shattered.
Anger.

Where did I go wrong,
how did I fail him,
depression rises.
Betrayal.

I can do no more,
his footsteps are his own,
innocence mourned.
Acceptance.
