Deception

Poem that grew from Lies

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.
