he was truly the mojave now...with the love in his heart stolen, his eyes held no more water, though they still gathered their blue, reflecting the endless cloudless skies. all those happy tears that were once a welcomed oasis, now all dried up by the vast desert of her lies. those many sunshine days really just cracked the skin on his face with deceit, merely forming new unforgiven wrinkles...and with the sands of time, the smiles whisked away into the wind, and his heart hardened to stone...but he was no longer unhappy...

so many years of deceit and betrayal, she sucked away the best from him with her lies, ripping away a chunk of his soul, making him cold, and turning his loving heart to stone

he thought, "fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me...fool me thrice with more lies, and I am what a fool believes"...

but do not be sad...you see, there is always a positive to be found in every situation, because even as his heart dried up and turned to stone, the loneliness no longer made him unhappy, instead it was welcoming company...
