Disappointment

Your words were truthful when spoken to her

Your gaze was sweet when met with her eyes

 

But you spouted lies to my ears

Which left me in tears

 

Your gaze turned cold when met with mine

Your words were like bitter wine

 

The light in your eyes dimmed at the sight

Your smile disappeared without might

 

How I longed to be your kin

How I longed to be embraced by your skin

 

How cold it was when you snapped

How cold it was when I left

 

But how warm it was with you gone

How warm it was when it dawned

 

I no longer needed you

For it was just a childish dream

 

Foolish of me to chase

Foolish of me to believe.
