Deceit

He took me in

He let me grow,

He helped me

He cared.

He taught me how to fly

He smiled at every achievement.

He gave me grace when no one else would.

He made sure I was happy.

He took my broken pieces,

and he fixed me.

He sewed my heart together

He kept me from falling apart.

He told me what was best

He made sure I understood.

He fed me lies

truths.

His name was Deceit

He told them I was misled.

He twisted my sister

He lied to my brothers.

He sent me away

He said it was for the best.

He ordered me not to return

He told me never to speak to him again.

He told them I was gone.

I was dead.

He recounted an accident.

I had taken a great fall.

I found him again.

I asked

I wanted to know.

"Why did you abandon me?"

His response.

Chilling.

everything undone.

Death would come soon.

"I got everything

I wanted out of you,

I have no use for you.

You only cost me.

You can't sustain me,

You are dead."
