Love Deception

Thought I had a diamond, but the shine too slight,

Every word she said a shadow in the light.

Cupid pulled the trigger, but the aim ain't tight,

Now I'm left boxing ghosts in the silence of night.

Heartbeats tap-dancing till the rhythm goes numb,

Promises she whispered got my spirit undone.

I thought I held paradise, a kingdom was spun,

But the queen turned to vapor when the morning begun.

Hoodie vibes, mask on, she played me in stealth,

Every kiss a currency, she spent up my wealth.

Chased the silhouette, but she ghosted myself,

Love's a venom—slow-burning till it ruins your health.

Half-smoked blunts filled the air of regret,

Half-written poems in the book I forget.

Her shadow in the picture still lingering yet,

But I’m tearing the page where the poison was set.

Gold-ring daydreams melted in her deceit,

Saw the cracks in her throne when she rose to her feet.

I built her up tall, she crumbled concrete,

Now my heart’s on a stretcher, laying dead in the street.

Heartbeats tap-dancing till the rhythm goes numb,

Promises she whispered got my spirit undone.

I thought I held paradise, a kingdom was spun,

But the queen turned to vapor when the morning begun.
