A Lover's Lie

 

I should have seen the end of this,

Before I played my part.

I would have turned away the kiss

That took my heart.

 

I should have weighed more carefully

The words that you had spun,

And thus, this lie would certainly

Not have begun.

 

If I’d have noticed from the start

The eyes you would not show,

I shouldn’t have allowed my heart

To love you so.

awww. This peom expresses bitter regret. I think the reference to love on the last line is effective in highlighting the true issue here, a last sort of thought. Good work

I like the way you instantly accept your own self responsibility and awareness - even as you let yourself slide into that feeling, knowing it is dangerous.

This is nice I like it.
