infatuation masquerades as love
how will I ever know
if this is the real thing
people show you one side of themselves
and wait until you least expect it
to reveal the other
I've been hoodwinked many times
tears stained my pillow case
while my brain pleads its case to my heart
and begs for its forgiveness
for all the avoidable pain I put it through
all because I was blinded by beauty
