Eight Years

Ironic how things can change in the blink of an eye
Just one word, one mistake and suddenly
I can no longer ABIDE by the "agreed upon" rules
It's TIRING to smile in the face of deception
I closed the WINDOW to my soul
Finally FREEING  my heart of the PRESSING grip of pretence
Putting this emotional lie to REST
The ROOT of us exposed.  The SMOKE screen lifted.
Our turning POINT
But wait... you can see it all so clearly now
You LAVISH me with words of love, true love
And without so much as a blink of an eye
I walk right back into the flames that consumed me for
Eight Years
