Play of Pretense

Ah! Remember how you told me once Breathtaking were my eyes, cerulean blue Capturing your heart cupid, in an instant. Dulcet, my voice, a soulful melody Enigmatic, lost were you in its symphony Fervent words ignited passion, amorous Gosh! You melted every time in my presence. How lovingly you caressed my tresses, golden I blushed every time when your fingers grazed my neck Just one touch, stirred feelings in me, so much. Kissing my lips, you promised, not stars or moon, but Love filled life, in a cozy haven of ours. Much to my dismay, you broke my heart, fragile Naïve was I, trusting your words, comprised of lie. Ornate pillars of your love, came crashing down Pricking my heart, devouring my soul Qualms conflicting arose, was trusting you a crime? Remember that day, I saw you in the alley Standing next to a girl dressed in red Titillating touches, fondling her chest Unmasked your deceit, a scene I can ne’er forget! Vows we made, hurled like trash, worthless Wobbly my world became, shattered I was Xanthous letters in my drawer, lost their spark. You loved me ne’er, feigned were your emotions Zealous love, just a farce, but why ain’t I surprised?   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
