Kate

I don't know why my thoughts have turned to you, as they sometimes do.

All you taught me is that good things are always a lie.

Fool me once, that was him, fool me twice, that was you.

I must be such a comfortable place for a liar.

I see your smile in my mind, and the lovely life you've been handed. Why do you pretend? Why do you live as though you need an alternative truth to console you? Maybe that's why I hung around...to try and understand why when nothing was wrong, you seemed so hollow. You stole little pieces of everyone around you and made up a person you thought everyone could like. Who were you really? I guess I just wanted to know...I thought I did, but over and over you proved me wrong.

Lie after lie I forgave you. Some habits are hard to shake I guess.

I've never been so proud of me as the day I finally walked away for good.
