Gaslighting
When I lost
you,
I lost
everything
I knew.
Even though
there was
nothing
I could do,
the you
in you
changed –
or at least
the parts
I knew.
Your deception
gave me deja vu.
It could not be
misconstrued.
The me
I used to be –
I could never
live up to.
And maybe I grew
from everything
we went through.
Saying goodbye
allowed
a different view.
Now
I’m unsure
if anything
I knew
was true.
