Today, I let go
This morning I didn't know.
That it has all been a lie,
A portrait of love,
Drawn with deceptive dye

I was a fool to think it true
That I was loved by you.
I was blinded by the feeling of acceptance.
I was deafened by the sound of words

I thought I was more than a plaything,
More than a toy,
for your all encompassing personal joy.
I thought I meant more than that.

Now, I miss you
And am feeling overwhelmingly blue.
I think I miss the illusion,
Of being loved,
And the sedentary settlement
Of earthly confusion.

Today, I let go
And now I know
