Smiled eyes.
Lies spoken.
Demons awoken.
One heart broken.
For a moment I was blind.
High off your ego.
Drunk on your pride.
I was only a body.
Without the soul.
The imitation of love had taken its toll.
You teased my naive.
But I still make believe.
Dreams of bare skin.
Lips tasting of gin.
Part of a world I never knew.
In love with the idea of you.
Now I toast to my loneliness.
A hidden joy I took for granted.
Becoming perfect and polished
only to your advantage.
To think it was better than what we had before.
I'm no longer your fool.
I am deserving of more.
