Of Course

Of course
It was all lies
And of course
You were transparent
Under all the layers
You had wrapped
So tightly around you
I knew you were not going to last
But God was I going to try to hold on.
I tried to hold you close
With limp fingers
And you slipped away.
I saw it coming,
And I looked away.
I held you tighter,
And it made it hurt so much more
When you broke a part of me
Off with you
When you turned around
And walked away.
