Have you forgotten those vows, once endlessly spoken?
Avoiding closeness, now a path you've chosen.
You shunned conversation, then made a shift,
Why tie a knot you'd later choose to split?

How did you transform from what you denied?
Can I fathom now, the deceit you couldn't hide?
Why initiate a tale that couldn't last?
Why ensnare me in a web, a game from the past?

Was I but a distraction, a fleeting rhyme?
You'd appear at will, consume your time.
Satisfied, you'd depart without remorse,
Mocking my feelings, steering off-course.

My anger, too much for your fragile ego to bear,
You danced with pride, as if I wasn't there.
Your empty promises, mere shadows in the night,
Left me in the dark, struggling to see the light.
