Prevaricator

Stephanie Alford
You claimed so earnestly
To love me
With every fiber of your being
In my infatuated state
I wanted desperately
To believe you
And I somewhat convinced myself
That you were being honest
The other part of me
Saw you for what you really are
Just a robotic shell
Capable of nothing more
Than incessant deception

    It is earth shattering to realize that someone who you trusted unconditionally isn't so great afterall. Five stars for this poem of truth. Really liked the "robotic shell" line!
