Zephyr of thee

The Lie You Told

A Poem on Heartbreak, Trust, and Healing

Intro:

Capturing the devastating, distorted essence of ones who we cared for at times. Now, toppling off our reach. Amid, we'll heal. Yet, searching their whereabouts.

Poem:

You said it like it meant nothing — Eyes steady, voice calm. But inside me, things grovelled. Not loud. Just… quiet smudging. I wanted to believe you. I tried. But lies have a smell. And I knew. You smiled like you still had me, But your words were cold — Like a stranger pretending to be The person they once were. I don’t hate you. I hate that I still check my phone. I hate that the lie Still whispers at night when I try to doze off. You didn’t just backstab me. You stole something — The safe baggy place where love glittered. Now it’s empty, unbagged, unheld. But I’ll be okay. Not now. Not today. But someday, The truth will be mine again.

Summary:

When lies form their own beehive betwixt us, collapsing the dual boundaries of seraphic relations, that hive suffice for the flourishing nouble. Yet still, we would carve another way so grey.
