I don’t mean to be overanalyzing

But what made you my true north

Was I thought you were uncompromising

In always living up to our true worth

I believed you would never lie

As events have turned I cannot deny

My belief was one of self deception

Perhaps brought on by misconception

I had thought I could always turn

For truth and would never feel the burn

Of knowing you deliberately lied to me

It had always seemed an impossibility

But now events have opened my eyes

To your untruth; my hurt; it shouldn’t be a surprise….
