Betrayal

You say this isn't me.
It can't be.

My smile is cruel,
My eyes burn with hate,
My touch scalds you.

My voice isn't right.
It's cold
hard
flat
lifeless.

My stride is different.
It shows arrogance,
It has power.

The love you once felt from me,
Is gone.
Disappeared like a flame from a candle.

My breath is acidic.

You say this isn't me.

You're wrong.

This is how I've always been.
