Tears of blood

I think that I am fading away,
Tears of blood are here to stay.
I feel them as they they trickle down.
Washing away my theory of the person I knew,and, the love I thought we had found.

Our love was never what I thought it to be,
I realized my error too late.
My heart, and my soul were nothing but pawns in a sick, twisted, game you called “Fate”.

I devoured the lies that you told me,
I believed in you from that first kiss.
Every word from you mirrored our synchronicity.
Who knew that deception,cloaked as true love, could manipulate and twist me like this.

When your mask came off,and I saw the truth
so vile, I could no longer deny.
I saw your cold eyes,and heard your cruel words blaming me,and I didn’t know why.

My kindness was evident,my intentions were pure,
but I ignored all the signs on the road.
All the hopes and the dreams that we talked of, turned out to be nothing but fool's gold.

My tears are now crimson,dark as my heart
I don’t know what’s real anymore.
Yet l still see a flicker,underneath the destruction, waiting for me to open the door.
