Deception C a Harms

Deception: The act of deceiving someone. That became a pattern in my life. It was the way the chips fell. I'm destined to be that girl that fell for the wrong guy. If he was a liar and a cheat, I found him or he found me. It didn't really matter how it happened, it just always did. But when I met Jake, I thought he was different. He was just a guy trying to get by, much like me in a sense. He was happy with the little things in life...he made me feel safe and settled. That was until I found out that his name, his life, and the man he pretended to be, were nothing but a fraud. He used me to get the answers he needed, and in the process, he managed to take my last ounce of hope and crush it. I just wanted him gone. I wanted to forget the times we shared, the laughs we had. I wanted to ignore the fact that he'd so easily found a place in my heart. Only there was one problem... I wasn't allowed to forget. I am reminded daily of him. Each morning, I have no choice but to look into the same, beautiful eyes he possessed. I see his smile and that same shade of dark melted chocolate hair that at one point, I loved running my fingers through. Every single day I reminded of the fact that the father of my child is nothing more than a man that truly never existed.
