i was fooled.

193 21 2
                                    

i tripped and fell
into the pool that was deception
and sank into the falsehood
that was you.

my expectations were high
but as i plummeted down
reality and sincerity
sliced into me like knives

and i see you stood
all of you together
you glance at me
you look away

i bleed.
