Falling in love was a mistake
Love is a terrible misconception
It tears at your heart
But when you think you’ve found it
Love changes your perception
After you’ve felt it
No one else is enough
All those memories
Of something that wasn’t real
You wanted it to be
Because all of what it made you feel
Love entices
It shows you a vision
Of all that could be
It’s an illusion of all that we want
Love blinds us to reality
It captures our hearts
Then it betrays us
Love leaves and it takes what we felt
Twists it to make what we feel
Then that’s our new reality
That’s what is real
It destroys our trust
And in its wake
Not our heart unscathed
But in its place
Little more than dust
