Twisted Truths

Some truths are twisted tighter than lies. 


Forcing Eli to hate me shatters my heart. 


It devastates me more than watching him fall back into the arms of his ex-girlfriend. 


It cuts deeper than pretending I don’t care. 


But I do it to protect his future happiness; I do it for him.


Eli swallows the lies I feed him and exhales them as twisted truths. 


He discovers my secret and embraces the anguish crippling my soul. 


Relentless. Determined. Desperate.


I couldn’t push him away again if I tried. 


And I’m done trying.
