UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS ABOUT STAYING TRUE TO THE IDEA OF

YOU

THAT I FED INTO THE FALLACY OF ACCEPTING SO MANY IMPERFECTIONS THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULDN'T GET ANY BETTER

BUT MY LOYALTY LED ME TO BETRAY MY HEART

CAUSE I KNEW IT WAS BULL THAT I CHOSE TO BELIEVE 

INSTEAD OF STAYING TO TRUE TO WHAT I NEEDED

I GLADLY PUT ON THOSE ROSE-COLORED GLASSES AND ENJOYED THAT SMOKE IN THE MIRRORS 

THAT EVEN OUT THE STRETCH MARKS AND CELLULITE FROM OUR LOVE 

BUT CALLING IT LOVE WAS A STRETCH ALTHOUGH I KEPT INVESTING MY TIME AND ENERGY EVEN WHEN I WAS ON E 

I CONVINCED MYSELF I NEEDED YOU WHEN YOU NEEDED ME 

TO FEED SOME BLACK HOLE OF INSECURITY WHILE I WHITERED AWAY INTO OBSCURITY..

I FORGOT MY NAME AND WHAT I LOOKED LIKE.. 

TRUTH IS..IT WASN'T ME YOU WANTED 

JUST ANOTHER MIRROR TO COMFORT YOUR NARCISSISM / BUT I CONTRIBUTED BY APPLAUDING YOUR OVERCOMPENSATING CAUSE I GOT WHAT I WANTED WHILE MY SOUL FADED TO BLACK

BECAUSE I COULDN'T BE LOYAL TO SELF. 

EVEN THOUGH IF I LEFT I KNEW I COULDN'T LOOK BACK.

love the write. Sometimes, love, or what looks like love ...is strange. finding out the hard way is tough. more so when you give one more chance, too many times it makes your head spin.

This is indeed phressh. It's amazing how one can see different moments in their lives played out in the vision of another. I can definitely relate to this. Thank you for sharing.
