I can't believe you were

Dishonest, wearing a veiled mask
With me all this time.

It makes me shake my head
To see the truth revealed
In a way that makes me lose my breath
Even still.

I got used to you not being around
To the quiet silence
Of your partnership
Slowly failing me
And your romantic words and soft touches
No longer being enough.

I think I'll dress like
I'm attending the funeral of our love
Tomorrow night.

Your name and your face cause me pain
It is the most painful
To watch someone you love
Watch you go.

But there are consequences to this
I dance through ribbons and lace
And prance away
Into my own light.
