Reflections
Just what it says on the tin...Reflections
The things we think we hide from others turn out to be a reflection of what we hide from ourselves.I thought I was protecting you. Protecting me.Hiding what was going on behind our perfect facade of a relationship.Our friends thought us the perfect couple.You spoiled me after all,Turning up to work with flowers,Buying me gifts.Notes in my lunchbox like teenagers.Ever the romantic.Sitting high on a pedestal...The gospel according to friends;And then you'd fall.And I'd brush it under the carpet.And you'd fall more often.And still, I'd brush it under the carpet.Not seeing your falls from grace had changed you.Turned you into someone devious.You were investing in me.Like stocks and shares.Shelling out upfrontBecause the return was more profitable.And I unknowingly at the time, enabled you.It's only now that you're gone I see you.And I see what I thought I was hidingWasn't really hidden at all;I just chose not to see it.
