Blinding Shaded Deception

Alluring sunshine intrudes each crack and crevasse heart possessed,

Galvanized warmth within the veins of uncharted territories flow,

Debacle through delusion of tenderness and safety repressed,

Endear so the light as demoralize be the shadow,

Reversal of sunshine bliss to swallow as disloyalty is confessed,

Liars and cheats impersonating as igniting lovers tiptoe.
