"Play Of Deceit" | 6 out of 365

You said you were sorry,
that you’d make amends,
but, all you ever did
was to trip
over the threshold instead

Your love was unwieldy,
as you kept tripping over
the same distorted threshold,
as if you’d never looked ahead,
only broke your promises instead

That distorted threshold,
was inherently corrupt,
I knew it
your love to me was oddly abrupt

I should have known it
As you kept breaking your promises,
pushing me slowly further and
further away

I should have known it
I was passionately taking part
in your vigorous play of deceit
