Bed of Lies

Sleeping next to a stranger

In the back of my mind,

“Caution! He is dangerous”.

I thought he was my Prince Charming, 

the happy ever after

But secrets revealed this was just an ugly disaster

Each chapter written with lies ending in deceit 

Disgusted by the things my eyes have seen,

feeling dirty, unclean

 as if I was the one acting out those things

I thought he was different, 

something good for me,

someone to treat me like a Queen 

I must admit, 

he is a good pretender

Wanting to rid myself of him 

Every kiss

Every touch

Every intimate moment

Never can I look at him the same

What once was love, admiration, and respect,

now replaced with hate, disgust, and mistrust 

Given myself only to him

but he wasn’t given himself exclusively to me

Sleeping next to a snake

until his venom had enter me

Sicken

Mentally and physically

How could he

Why would he

I thought I was everything he needed
