Luck or Lies

He dodged a bullet when he left;
Never dealing with a life in a house of cards.
Everything crumbles.
Only one can be blamed.

Walking through the dark
Only lit up by a fire's glow.
Smoke and ash fill up the sky.
Breathe it in.
This is all that's left.

Dreams melted away.
Happiness fled.
No need to grasp at straws of hope;
They're just a figment.
He could do the same thing
But get praised for it.

I was nothing but poison to him.
At least that's what he said.
Too immature
Too childish.

I moved on.
I grew up
Or so I thought..

I killed the trust.
I shattered the illusion of love and magic.
This ain't a fairytale.
And I was never above water.
Thus securing my noose.

Caged.
Alone.
At fault.
He dodged a bullet.

But I won't.
