I hated liars, their words like a stain

-

I hated liars, their words like a stain,
Yet in my own heart, I’ve played the same game.
Crafting illusions, in shadows I dwell,
The deepest deceit is the truth that I sell.

In mirrors of doubt, I see my own face,
A prisoner of lies in this familiar place.
I sought out the truth, but found only strife,
The greatest of lies is the one in my life.

My family's love, a distant song...

In the silent halls where echoes fade,   I wander lost, in shadows shade,   My family's love, a distant song,   Unheard, unnoticed, all along.   Their eyes like stars, cold and distant,   No warmth, no comfort, so persistent,   In their embrace, an empty space,   A void where love should find its place.   Yet still, I yearn for their tender touch,   A fleeting hope, I cling to much,   But in this realm of darkened hue,   My family's love, alas, rings untrue. ~Ambivertsyed

Please, just have the courage to let go of the people who leave your heart confused. Let go of the people who make you feel like you are compromising all that you desire, and all that you hope for, and all of the goodness and the beauty that you know exists in this world, for a skinny version of love. Let go of falling in love with potential, let go of falling in love with the idea of someone rather than who they truly are. Let go of the fears you have that keep you holding on to something that hurts, something that is so heavy, something that has only left you feeling misunderstood, or unworthy, or at war with yourself. ~Atticuspoetry
