you told me
that my eyes
were orbs of kindness;
always imploring.
and yet when i begged
you to stay;
you didn’t.
you told me
that my lips
tasted like cherry wine;
sweet and addictive.
and yet when you left,
somehow,
the addiction broke.
you told me
that my voice
was like liquid gold;
soft and slender.
and yet you didn't care
that when you left,
it would shatter.
you told me
that my skin
tingled with electricity;
jolted you alive with every touch.
and yet when you left,
that electricity
burned out.
you told me
that i kissed
like the world
was about to end.
and yet you didn't care;
that my world would end
when you left.
you told me
that my heart
was bold and strong;
like titanium.
and yet when you left,
that titanium
collapsed.
you told me
we would be together forever,
our own happily ever after.
and yet you didn't tell me
that you were lying;
because you turned out to be
my complete destruction.
