only fooling myself

i tried not to believe you
and those words
that flowed freely
from your lips

i didn’t want to fall
for those lies
i didn’t want to let myself
hope

cover upon cover
i built a shield
and placed it over
my heart

penetrated
somehow
it was not strong
enough

i believed you
and your lies
i hoped
i hurt

-Christine
