refurbish my heart
ignite my eyes
wipe all the dirt and grime from my conscience
I asked him to do these things for me
he smiled, sugar coated
sculpted the facade with his hands
and listened with patience
as I handed my vulnerability to him
as I spoke with confidence
as I damned the last one who had been responsible for the mess
I cultivated a mist around him
so I could only see what I liked
what I wanted to
he threw my trust into the sky
painted a picture for everyone to see
and did it unapologetically
left me there
in the middle of an endless sea
so only I could know what a fool I'd been
