he looks into my hazel eyes
my auburn hair drifting through the wind of lies
we walk together hand in hand
his red lips so luscious call for me
but is this real? my angel asks me
but its too late
and i reach in
not thinking of the hate
he will soon bring
my careless self falls into his black hole
the endless questions that i hold
will never be answered

he holds my neck and brings me in further
i fall for it
how stupid could i be
but soon those tears will come for me
the pleasure brings me things i've never known
the desire fools me and so does he.

how long will it be
till' i find that he has been
cheating
on
ME?

this piece came from personal experiences. I loved my boyfriend but turned out he was cheating on me this whole time.
