I Believed

How can this be?
You shone like a sun;
The glow was warm,
Inviting and welcoming;
I saw the good in you,
Couldn't be convinced;
Otherwise of your charm,
Reflective personality;
But then I found out,
The truth of your allure;
At the end of the tunnel,
Darkness enveloped;
Black was your soul,
A body without a heart;
Couldn't believe it was,
Possible; for such beauty;
To be so evil and immoral,
Spoiling from the inside;
Too good to be true,
Never rang truer;
But the disappointment,
Was all mine because I believed... in you.
