You'll only fool me once

I felt a connection, I opened up

as you seemed to be different,

but you told me you weren't

a typical male one too many times;

the shine slowly faded.

 

The deep connection was superficial

but love still makes blind and I didn't see,

swept away by the waves of my imagination

showing me what could have been.

 

Your actions betrayed your words,

you said you didn't mean to,

but you were the moon, I was the tide,

pulled in and pushed away,

unknowingly part of a game

that I didn't understand.

 

I fell for your act but how easy it is

to not fall for who you really are

but let you go instead, and yet,

I don't grieve for losing you,

because you've always been fake.

 

I only grieve for a lost pleasant dream.
