Lingering Illusions

If your affection's sincere and true,
If you long for us, just me and you,
Why pretend you've forgotten that day,
When you vowed we'd meet, forever stay?

You speak in eloquence, a charming trick,
Deceiver of hearts, with words so slick,
Yet perhaps the fault within is my own,
For my heart clings to your lies, firmly shown.

Hatred resides deep within my soul,
Yet feelings for you I can't control,
You return, a constant, haunting track,
And here I am, unable to push you back.

Oh, my heart's ensnared in this turmoil,
Loving you brings stress and toil,
Expectations persist with no cessation,
For the allure promises sweet sensation.

I love you, adore your every way,
Your country, your actions, come what may,
You pledged truth to me, a solemn vow,
But to others, the truth you disavow.

How wild it seems that I believe it all,
For your allure makes me stumble and fall,
I yearn to be where you reside, it's true,
Yet it's all a fanciful dream, I construe.
