Jack Horne Poet Lento

False

I wonder why you changed;
my heart can never guess.  
Why did your veneer slip? -
Sly actions to address!

Do you have regrets now?
You seem as warm as ice.
Too many people fooled
to see you act so nice.

for Dear Heart Constance's Lento contest

Keith O.J. Hunt January 22, 2020 at 5:46 PM ' Why did your veneer slip?' To read such lines alone is half the reason I adore poetry and good lyrics. Wishing all the best in the Lento contest;-)
