We hadn’t realised…

That we spoke of love
that was enshrouded
by child-like naïveté.

We had then,
fire in our hearts,
sparks in our eyes
and clouds in our heads

but

marbles in our mouths.

Naïveté

I am a professional liar 
It pays to learn deceit 
Only the naïve believe in honesty 

 I am a professional actress 
I've perfected every line 
I've mastered every mask 
You think you've got the answer 
I've made you drop your guard 

I am a professional liar 
My name is whatever you call yourself 
Honesty is naïveté 
Naïveté is hell
