He found me in the dark when I thought all hope was lost.

He swore he loved me when I didn't think anyone ever would.

He vowed to keep the shadows haunting me at bay when I felt like I was drowning in my past.

But in doing so, he also kept the truth from me.

It shouldn't surprise me. After all, our relationship was built on a foundation of lies, the walls constructed of secrets, the roof a thin veil of deceit.

But as I start to peel away layer after layer of this wasps nest I find myself entangled in, I'm faced with the truth...our truth.

A truth even the strongest love can't protect us from.

A truth that's been staring at me for years, but I've simply been too blind to see it.

A truth that's about to destroy everything.
