Disarming

Your eyes are piercing 
Your heart is cold
My eyes were seeing
A heart of gold 

Your smile is charming
Your kiss is weak 
My lips were feeling
A kiss that’s unique

Your hands are inviting
Your grasp is not secure  	
My hands were trying			
To hold them more

Your words are promising
Your feelings are insincere 
My ears were listening 
To what I wanted to hear 

Your embrace is comforting
Your affection is untrue 		 
My heart was falling  			
More in love with you 

You are disarming 
You’re really a fraud
I was too foolish
To see this was flawed 

My heart is still open
My trust on reserve 
You’re all alone now
It’s what you deserve
