At first,
When I looked
In your eyes,
All I saw
Was hope.
You looked
Deep inside me—
Down to my heart;
Or at least,
I thought.

At first,
When I heard
Your voice,
I thought it’s
Melody sang
The truth.
You spoke with
Wisdom,
But your encouragement
Was meaningless.

At first,
When I listened
To my heart,
I thought it
Told me right.
But what it said was as
Pure as your fake heart,
Closed off as your ears,
And as malevolent
As your eyes…
At first.
