Slipping slowly through consciousness,
Wondering what I'd done
To make you hate me enough for this,
For you to destroy my safe haven, my home and sanctuary
All with so few words
The masquerade is finished,
No more childish dress up wishing for you to be my Prince Charming
Dreams are crushed, not to be renewed
How could I let you get in so deep?
Let myself be fooled when you called me beautiful
Such simple trickery but you had me at hello
The hole in my chest re-opens as I read those words again:
"I'm in love with a girl but you're not her"
Author notes
I used the promt "White Horse" by Taylor Swift.
I'm sorry it's a bit rough in places!
Hope you like it!
