Just One Lie Poem by Brittany Cook

We're done.
He's gone.
I almost died.
That fateful day
All the blood that dripped from my body.
The crimson red that fell to the floor.
We're over
There is no us.
He was my rock.
My keeper.
I was strong and full
Now I'm weak and empty.
The lie that made him doubt.
When we tried one more time might be
The one where in the end I just give up
It was forgivin, but it wasn't enough
My life rests in his hands.
I'm gone I disappeared.
My family is going to miss me.
My death what a shame.
The love he held.
I held to mine.
Just one lie.
A small lie of whom I had talked to changed all that I
Had, all I could get.
Just one lie had me out cold that night.
Im done with this life
It's pointless without him
He doesn't see it.
My daughter will.
Just one lie made us fall apart once more
For the last time i've fallen and this time I don't have footing to get back up.
This life without him is a dead life.
My daughter will see what true love is when she realizes her
Mother and father died and walked away.
