Darkness descends
Faith drops
Hearts stop
Words crash
A mirage gone
Lies emerge
A light shines
Upon compulsive lips

Vows taken
All mistaken
To be truths
Icing melts
Towers of cake
Crumbling foundations
Love of self
Revealed
Dreams stolen
Misconstrued
False identity

One thought
Being her ideal
A dream state
Afraid to be seen
Acceptance of self
Vanished
A better man
Lost identity
Rejection infection
Festering abyss
Cascading lies
An invasion
Could have been
Would have been
Now all lost

His fear
Now reality
As she loses faith
Leaving behind
A mirage
Foundations laid
Sinking sand
A downward spiral
Of one lie
After another
Haphazard bricks
Laid with hopes
She'd see her dream

To please her
Appease her
Win her heart
He pretends
Until light shines
A truth revealed
Gut wrenching
Thrust
As what was
Is never there

A mirage
Her dream
Appeared on the surface
As darkness waited
Behind a curtain
Carefully laid
Marriage mirage
Lonliness sets in
Intimacy gone
A vow broken
Before the taking

Contemplating
She squeals
Never more
Faith in love
Can never be
As it was
Before
