Ruined

I sit there alone, day after day, night after night
How could I have done this to another human being
How could I have ruined a friendship
How, just how did my love disappear into darkness
Knowing the only truth, the real truth
It was my fault, and no one else’s

Lying and cheating and never on the same page
Stories to deflect the real truth from fear
Ending up alone, lonelier than ever
My fault, I am a true narcissist and professional cheat
Swallowed now by guilt, but no regret
Consequences evident in the silence that has followed
