It was a sad story
She started out weak
but grew strong with the support
of that wicked smile of his
Under a spell
she was crushed by his sadness
and depression
She became everything he
feared
His smile ran away
with the remaining support she leaned on
So she blamed him for becoming weak
Happiness boiled into anger
and love crumbled to dust
of a forgotten memory
She grabbed
that anger by the horns
and used it as a shield
to prove she was no weak little girl
anger became her strength
anger became her friend
who always stood by her side
So she pushed all other
bothersome people away
and trusted only anger
One lie.
That’s all it took for her world
to come to an end
All the reasons she forgot him
left him broken and dead
had the base root of one lie
The girl lost her support
Movements slowed
and breaths shortened
All the anger left her
empty
and alone
with no support
Because of that one lie.
A lie is a toxic addicting drug that we all give into at some point
