The art of deception
Mastering a skill requires
perseverance, patience and most importantly time. One cannot become master of
an art overnight, especially when that art is as tricky as the art of
deception.
Deception wields within lies and
secrecy, and to deceive or let someone down is a fatal punishment.
If you want to break a human soul
all you have to do is lie, break all your promises and watch everything crumble
from deception. How can you survive when the person you trusted the most
betrays you?
Out of the blue you discover a
secret; one they are trying to hide, and you play along their game putting on a
poker face, waiting and lurking for them to make one mistake.
Knowing a secret is very
empowering, for you get to choose when to confront the liar, when they are in their
safe zone, thinking they have fooled everyone. Why wouldn't they? They earned
everyone’s trust, but little do they know that with a bit of intuition and
trusting your instincts you can uncover many hidden truths.
Secrets and lies have a nasty way
of crumbling and surfacing when you least expect it, just when you are
comfortable and think you are in the clear, that false sense of security will
be your downfall.
What if you knew everything that
has been going on for a while now, but with all the goodness in your heart you
decide to give a second chance, to let them come clean and confide in you.
They don’t come to you, they
chose to lead a secret and obscure road straying from you. Thinking they are in
control and they can handle it.
It is not the fact of keeping a
secret by itself that hurts the most, no…what keeps you constantly worried, sad
and crying every night to sleep is knowing they are oblivious to the fact that
you know their secret and fighting so hard not to burst out and let everything
fall apart; they are causing you all the pain and sorrow.
All the hard work you put into
building trust and honesty is gone, the mistakes of the past come back to haunt
you, suddenly you remember you have been down this path before.
You chose to forgive but you
never forgot, and how can you? When you have given yourself completely.
Trusting others, giving them a
second chance and being honest doesn’t mean being stupid because you reach a
point where you can no longer pretend that this will just blow off and go away,
even if you wait.
How much can one small heart take
before it breaks? Just like every broken promise.
When you were promised honesty
you found lies
When you were promised trust you
found secrecy
What about all the promises?
The world seemed a happy place,
you were unaware of the deception. Yet, here you are, there isn’t a way back,
you cannot rewind time, you have to deal with it.
Either you keep everything
bottled inside and pretend everything is fine, but deep down you know the lies,
or you confront them with the truth.
Nonetheless, confrontation may
lead to a separation or someone getting hurt but isn’t someone already being
hurt? Knowing a secret is a heavy burden, especially when that secret has a
direct effect on you and your life.
Temptation is a bitch, just when
you think you are the strongest, you are actually the weakest.
You might think it is a harmless
game, just for fun and you can switch it on and off depending on your mood but
sadly it is not that simple, when you are playing with fire you are bound to
get hurt and what is worst is you might burn someone you really care about,
someone you love and has been there for you all the time.
How can you look them in the
eyes, if only you knew what lies in their heart, how hurt they are.
You think they don’t know? Well
think again. You just have to interpret the signs, you cannot be with your
loved one at day and embrace another personality at night to wonder off and let
your fantasies roam free.
How can you look them in the eye
and tell them you love them, when minutes before or after you were with someone
else.
How scared are you of the truth,
guess what? It is already out and there is no way of putting it back.
Deleting all the traces won’t
delete the effect, you hurt the love you loved the most.
Trust may be regained with a second
chance, but blowing your second chance is the dead end ; you cannot get a third
chance, not after this.
You will never feel it, but your
lover’s heart knows it and feels it, therefore at least have the decency to
come clean.
Finally, tell them you were
lying, tell them you have been keeping secrets and they might forgive you, but
don’t tell them you love them or try to kiss them. You are just making the
wound in the heart deeper.
