& i never thought everything would end this way
that the walls would come down crumbling on me
that when time stood still
that when the lights dims
you'd stop talking

& and that when i open my eyes
i'll see corpses of your lies -- each leaving its residue
their ghosts left to haunt me
piercing through my flesh -- moment by moment
biting my soul

& that when i close my eyes
ill be reminded of them.
& that when i read a book
ill see them.
& that when I dream
ill see flights of Deja Vu; each reminding me of them

& that when i wake up
i realized
you were never mine.
