In Between Love and Lies

I've been struggling adapting to these days,
Cause life isn't the same in betrayal's haze.
Perhaps somewhere I yearn for a confidant,
Or answers to the queries that constantly haunt.
 
Why did you choose to deceive me?
Why did you opt to hide things from me?
Why fabricate tales that weren't meant to be?
Why make me a fool, without mercy?
 
All I offered was love and care,
All I did was trust you, my dear.
All I sought was honesty, pure and true,
And what did I do to deserve this from you?
 
I loved you, hoping for love in return,
All I received were wounds that now burn.
I showcased my true self to you with no disguise,
But all I received were scornful cries.
 
Now I've severed ties, ended the relation,
But why do you still persist in my mind's narration?
All I wish is to banish your face,
But each thought somehow invokes your trace.
 
I've moved on, leaving the past behind,
Yet flashbacks haunt, tormenting my mind.
Each day, these memories replay,
Slowly consuming me, bit by bit and day by day.
 
Each thought of yours is like thousand years in hell,
Finding Serenity within seems impossible to quell.
If death is the only salvation for me,
I'd humbly bow myself to it, setting my spirit free.
