Clarity…

Lost in the memories,
Of you and me, And
How we fell apart.
Searching through the rubble,
Trying to find, Who we were.
The first sign of trouble.
Replaying all your words.
How easily, They fell from your lips.
A prize, Out of your bag of tricks.
How they still stick with me.
Your voice still haunts me.
You had me believing.
Was it really that easy,
To deceive me?
Why couldn't I see? 
How could you be so unkind?
Pretend to care, When I was there.
Out of sight, Out of mind.
When I was not around.
That is what I had become.
I just want to numb, All this pain.
What the hell, Was your gain?
Was any of it real or all lies?
I just want to runaway,
From these ghosts, Of you and I.
You kept me on my toes.
Hiding me in the shadows.
All I wanted was to break in.
You kept me at a distance.
To keep from being exposed.
My flaws, Began to take control,
To the very end.
How easy it was for you,
To just erase us, And pretend.
My heart has been cut and broken,
Left in a thousand pieces.
I'm no longer here.
To listen to one of your,
Meaningless speeches.
This pain I feel, Is hell and real.
Just trying to find a way to deal.
I didn't anticipate, This final card.
Letting you go, Has been so hard.
I understand, Lovers come and go.
I'm not questioning the Good-bye,
Or looking for your reply.
Just wanting to free my mind,
Mend this heart, And 
Break this bind.
It's the same old love story.
The ending is always the same. 
Thank you for the clarity.
Of where I stood, In your love game.
