the truth

14 5 1
                                    

she lived a lie

a fairytale

she wanted to believe it all

it kept her safe

safe from herself

safe from reality

she knew that if she knew the truth

it would break her

it would leave a void in her heart

but in the end

the truth was inevitable

the truth was painful

it felt like someone ripped her heart open and tried to put it back into place

but in the end she had to accept it

living a lie has always been easier than honesty

but it slowly ate away at her sanity

A/N
