The Truth

The Truth
I thought you were crazy for letting go, for walking out, for giving up.
You quit.
I thought all the words you ever said were put in my heart for me but they were meant for you, to have, to hold on to.
To convince yourself that somehow, some way you needed this, that you needed me.
So, you did everything you did, in all the love you gave, to feel and to fill the empty.
And here I am, piecing together all these little strands of truths to a lie.
You lied.
It was never about being what you said I needed.
It was never about being anything at all.
Or maybe it was.
And one day, just maybe, you can face it again.

I really like the line "I thought all the words you said were put in my heart for me" That line in itself sums up all the things they do to make you feel special, but when looking back on it, they feel like a play and that they were hollow and scripted.
Piecing together all these little strands of truth to a lie, another great line, yet it is one we keep on trying to piece together without ever really finding out which truths were lies.
Very nicely written. You captured the heart of what is truth in a relationship and the fallout of the lies.
