Poetry: Everything is not what it seems

I gave you my heart -

So vibrant you seemed!

I wasn't suspecting

Deception and greed.


I gave you my soul:

I thought you were wise

Your spirit amazed me...

You fed me sweet lies.


My judgement impaired-

You had me so fooled!

I saw you as fair,

And valiant, and good...


So was it true love?

No, love doesn't hurt

Or don't you remember

The tales you were told?


The prince, and the castle,

A passionate kiss

Confessions and oaths,

Then... years of bliss.


'Guess I was mistaken

There was none of that...

Oh well, maybe later,

I'll find my true love.

    Listen Up

    Quit the lies
    and everyone dies
    in the end.
    Born here,
    at this time.
    How you speak is how you live.
    What you say,
    broken

    Phone call.

    I called Mum and Dad earlier,
    they were washing all the cups
    they possessed, and saucers.

    It was nice to chat with
