Hiding in plain sight

Numb, so very numb, and yet, I feel everything…
I find no peace.

Your betrayal lies heavy on my tongue, sour with a hint of sweet.
Is that what she tasted like?

Your free-will and eagerness enslave me in sorrow,
My heart is pierced with each stolen release.

Your reassuring lies violate my trust and my virtue,
I am a whore through you

Your calculated hiding in plain-sight enrages me,
My craziness was your alibi.

Your truth fills me with heart-breaking imaginings,
I am flayed to my core.

Your remorse sickens me with spite,
Regret is easy once your sated.

But I am trapped in my love for you.
I want to hate,
to wreck,
to flee,
To find someone safe,
someone new,
someone not you.

And yet, I love you still.
Despite everything, I love you still.
