Paradigm Lost
Lover’s kiss.
first impressions
of lasting consequence
years of passion
transition into
years of distain
Yet first impressions
remain steadfast in my mind
contrary to the reality
in front of me
The facts do not
match the lies
I choose to believe
Until one day
I am forced to confront
the truth
that the paradigm
does not match
the cold hard facts
that the truths that I believed
were in fact lies,
carefully manipulated to
sound better than they would
really appear
Enough truth
to cause me to second guess
my reality
my truths
my sanity
I have been saved
I have been abused
I have been shamed
I am now free
from the lies
but I now question
my inner self
my decisions
my heart.
