It Was A Lie

Seemed like I had found the one,
Smiles shining across my cheeks,
The happiness he brought me
Fleeting, gone within weeks.

Never believed in childhood love,
But somehow, he made me do,
With sweet notes and cute words,
Passed from his table to mine.

Our hearts connected, a perfect peace,
His hugs, a comfort soft and warm,
With him, I felt so safe,
Sheltered from every possible storm.

I never prayed for things to change,
Yet change came suddenly,
The love I held so tightly drained,
Shattered heart I never bargained for.

Never thought it was a lie,
A cruel bet placed that was on me,
The smiles were nothing but utter deceit,
Now love is just a memory.
