Beautiful Mess

your lies erode away at my security

they reveal the rawness of my true belief

the hurt and ache eat away at the façade that has been created.

leaving behind a beautiful mess

of tangled love and broken truths

of shattered trust and beaten strength

like a wounded kitten fighting to stay alive

to live with kindness in a cruel word

deceit is all that I have been shown

on your conscience will it lie

this beautiful mess that was once my life
