Fake Love

What once felt like a magic, now feels like a lie 
As I uncover the truth, a tear falls from my eye 
Your love was a mirage, an illusion I chased 
And to find out it was fake, leaves me feeling misplaced 

Like a child with a toy, you played with my heart 
Toying with my emotions, you were so slick from the start 
Leading me on with lies
As I'm left picking up the pieces, picking up the ties 

Your agenda was selfish, your intentions was unclear 

You kept your true intentions so very near

My heart now broken, by the love that you fake
And it will take time to realise this on my own timetable fate

In the end, my love proved true 
But yours fell short, beneath my view 

So here's to moving on, finding new love.
