Beautiful. Protective. Concealing. Limiting. Painful.
Shell games.
See what you want to see. Meanwhile the one in control of the shells will never let you see it all. Never let you win.
A fool will only see what he wants to see. Will hear things that were never said. Will believe what can never come true. And, will have no one to blame but himself.
I am such a fool. I thought, foolishly, that there would someday be an "us." I allowed myself to be used. Knowingly. Willingly.
Desperate to have that connection with the one I cared (care) for, I accepted less than I wanted, needed, or deserved.
Now, I am simply an empty shell. Hollow. Hard. Closed off. Unwilling to open up again.
