The Illusion of Forever

 You came into my life when I wasn't seeking you,

Wove a tapestry of lies, made me believe anew.

You painted dreams of a life we'd share,

A world filled with joy, a love beyond compare.

Then shattered it all, left me in despair, 

With agony and self-doubt hanging in the air.

Where did I go wrong? Was my love so slight?

Was leaving me easy, just fading from sight?

Is my love so forgettable, just a fleeting phase?

Am I that easy to dismiss, lost in the haze?

But do I truly need answers to these aching pleas,

When I know I loved you, despite all your misdeeds?

Even when you blamed me for what you did wrong,

I held on to love, even when I didn't belong.

When hatred seemed the easier path to take,

I chose to love you, for love's own sake.
