Forget the Lies... Move on

I’ve realized that I have to stop lying to myself

You are nothing but a fairytale to put on my bookshelf

A story I wished to pursue

But now I see beyond the smoke and mirrors into your clever ruse

Blinded by your mystifying ways I’ve been

But I see through your lies which now seem paper thin

Now I have to look for the strength within

To do what I’ve put off for so long comin’

To look you straight in the eyes and end the pain

Requires a different kind of strength to gain

From showing weakness I must refrain

And for once take the reins

You’ve steered me into a path of no return

But now all your pictures I must erase, I must burn

Even though we both know that your company I yearn

But in order for happiness some old lessons you need to re learn
