The Lies You Told

I worshipped the religion of you
entrenched myself in the abyss of your love
languished in the sweet nothings
hanging from your lips.
I marveled this affair.

You left her so I thought you were mine
but you turned on me and I missed the signs.

Our clandestine encounters were alluring
but I watched you watch someone else.
Here I was greedy for your touch
I craved you like a thirsty desert
yet your eyes wandered beyond mine.

I faded as this romance was left behind
soft whispers of adoration turned to screams
your love, venom burning in my veins.
I agonized over every ruinous word
that spilled from your lying mouth.
I was completely and utterly wrecked by you.
