The Ultimate Deception

When I cry alone in bed each night
I think back on those secrets shared.
I knew together we were right
because his words showed that he cared.

He whispered soft and safe the things
I never thought I'd hear.
"I'll protect your heart" he sings,
So sweetly in my ear.

And so, despite my fear and doubt
I fall - hard and fast.
For that's what love is all about
and he promised it would last.

Family - he wanted it with me!
He wove the tale so well
that my trusting eyes didn't see
I wasn't bound for heaven but hell.

I fell, I broke, I died inside
I don't see me in my reflection.
I could say it's your fault - you lied.
But really, I believed the ultimate deception.
