In his eyes
I was just a dumb girl
Falling
For his carefully crafted guise
Blinded
By his deceptive charm
Unraveling
The secrets he kept disguised
I believed his every word
Trusting
The love he professed
Yet
Beneath his tender facade
Lurked
A manipulator
Cleverly dressed
He wielded affection
Like a weapon
A master
Of deceitful art
Each whispered promise
A calculated lie
Tearing
At the seams of my heart
I was but a pawn
In his game
Fooled
By his practiced facade
A dumb girl
Ensnared by his lies
Unraveling the truth
Bitter and raw
Now I see through his facade
No longer blinded
By false affection
I break free
From his manipulative hold
Embracing
My newfound liberation
