The Golden Boy

The Golden Boy

I recall holding you when you wept in despair, but the minute I confided my demons you let them out to air.

Quoting the Bible but living a lie, making me question why I didn’t actually die.

You deliberately hid your use and abuse

‘You better not tell’,

I was your constant excuse

‘Just say you fell’

You’re incapable of truth

Always selling me, ‘I love you most’ when in all reality I existed as your scapegoat.

You told lies about lies because you thought you were smarter

Ripping lives apart while wearing a fake badge of honor

You may not have a conscience, but you do have a fate,

It’s just a matter of time before you fall from grace.

They say time will tell and the truth comes out

But where’s the consequence of dragging people through hell?

Minds may mend and people recover

But I’m exhausted from carrying the burdens you were too pompous to discover

I ended up below rock bottom

Simply from loving a man who can’t admit to one problem

But life goes on and the world isn’t fair

You fake a purpose and pretend to care

You promised love but all you gave was deceit

You convinced me to write a letter because you said it would bring peace

Well here’s your letter

I’m no longer your toy

You think you got what you wanted

I’m afraid to feel joy..

Guess that’s the repercussions of loving

The Golden Boy
