Sadness did engulf me,
the day I realised,
that what I'd chosen not to see,
were the lies that you'd disguised.
You drew me in so easily,
your smile told me you cared.
Blue eyes showed your love so freely,
more than I had ever dared.
Bit by bit your mask slipped,
your smile became a sneer,
that happiness, for once I'd gripped
was now to cost me dear.
Looking back I couldn't have known,
what vileness lurked within.
The only traits that you had shown,
were from a heart so loving.
I now know it was a facade,
to break down my free will.
But you're the one who should be sad,
your life is empty still.
