Lovelorn

An amusing thought
a glimpse of your smile
the moment was short
but indeed worthwhile
You stole my eyes
you stole my mind
you cruel device
to me seemed kind
Your scheming act
that sinister care
of kindness lacked
yet seemed so fair
Suddenly awaked
by reality's call
for truth i ached
but you denied it all
The torch for you
i carried too long
now there's no more glow
and i've grown strong
But when you smile
exposed to your art
again you beguile
my poor, lovesick heart
