“Why can’t you

Wake up and see

The truth?”

My first love,

I thought he was

Perfect,

I worked my hardest to

Defend him

Even when he was

Really wrong.

I must’ve been asleep,

My eyes shut to the

Truth,

For he was no angel,

He was the

Human embodiment

Of Satan.

I hadn’t

Woken up enough

To see the truth…

But when I did,

Everything changed.

I saw

His flaws

For the first time,

And suddenly,

All my love and affection

Just melted away.

He was a

Bad person,

A bad influence,

A toxic boyfriend,

But I was still

Too scared

To leave him.

But now I was

Awake,

Seeing the

Truth about him

With cloudless

Vision.

He was

Selfish,

Dull in the head,

Boring,

And cruel.

Why,

Oh why

Did I ever

Date such a monster?

Asleep no more…

Now I’m

Awake to the

Truth.
