At first I didn't believe you,
Because foreverandeverandforever
You'd insisted this was good enough for you.
You'd insisted you were happy,
And I was happy,
And that all we needed was each other.
But even as I laughed at you,
Shook my head in disbelief in how
Much of a flawless liar you seemed to be...
(Which shouldn't have surprised me,
Because every other part of you
Was flawless too) –
Your eyes glazed over
And they stopped smouldering.
For the first time ever, they stared straight through me.
I realised you were being deadly serious.
I'd just been lying to myself for so long,
Trying so hard to forget judgement day would ever come.

Intrigued though, I want to read the rest...
