Deception, by Amy F Subscribe to rss feed for Amy F

A stinging slap like no other.
I trusted, 
and fell victim to a ploy.
I didn’t ask for it, yet felt the blow from another;
Someone I thought I could believe in.

I contemplate the reasoning for my dumb, stupid luck.

Perhaps my naďveté is my own demise.
Once my fault; twice, shame on me, they say;

But the shame is on you.
   
You’d surmise that my wrong turns would make me a wise
navigator, 
and lead me to the righteous road;  
but once again I ventured in the wrong direction.
The roadblocks were not up in time, 
and I headed right into the abyss.    

As the blood was drawn and tears were shed, 
it was like a silent movie flickering in slow motion

I could only wonder why I was dealt this twisted
fate….again

Once a pure heart that only emulated love and trust,
Now… slowly… turning… to a blackened mass of confusion
and fear.

I lie in my bed night after night in agonizing speculation,
I sweat and feel my eyelids sting as the tears can’t be
controlled
Panic that I had felt many years ago; 
same fear,
new place, 
new time;

More to lose.

I await results that will cue me to either exhale or weep.
That choice was never given as my own, 
yet clearly made for me.
My fate is sealed.
I’m at the mercy of another. 

The space I wander around in a fuzzy haze is your Realm-
Your rules, your choices;
I thought I could Rely on you but once again I was
backhanded into reality
Princes don’t exist;
Gentlemen are wolves in sheep’s clothing;
Happily Ever After is a fantasy, 
who’s protective hand eludes my grasp every time I reach
for it;
Thanks to people like you,
And 
Simple, 
Cowardly
Deception.
