She Asked for It

It was only a little lie.

That’s how stories like these get started.

But every lie I told, he saw through it.

I think in his heart he knew I was broken; he felt my pain as if it was his.

And that’s what changed everything.

He’s the reason it all fell apart.

Sometimes it’s a single moment that alters everything in existence.

Sometimes it’s the fall of dominoes, lined up in a pretty little row and designed so that each one will cause more and more pain.

In a single day, it’s all changed, and there’s no way to take it back.

I didn't know what would happen. But secrets and lies ruin everything.
