Fallacious Identity

I’m left with internal bleeding 
I didn’t quite comprehend 
What it was that I truly needed
An unwavering loyalty 
And deemed it necessary 
To be appraised as royalty 
But what did you presume this is 
An escort service 
Because you seem to be 
Kind of nervous
Whenever I come around 
You countenance turns 
To an upside-down smile 
What did I ever do 
To make you succumb
To the assumption 
That I was dumb 
For not seeing the signs 
Of your persistent misrepresentation 
Meanwhile your intentions 
Have been camouflaged 
It appears my awareness 
Was foreshadowed, but it doesn’t matter 
Counterfeit? I’m left asking 
Will I survive this 
Because I decided to take a risk 
Of being enamored with a con-man 
I should have turned 
The other way and ran 
To a safer refuge 
Your identity was
A major issue 
I could not distinguish 
What was ever authentic
