Infatuation
Infatuation
Your beauty was a façade
I saw what I wanted and not what I needed
But behold, as I dug deeper I only found
The things that even God might’ve frowned
As smooth as a snake, being slimy and fake
You know what they say
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
And oh! How I found this to be trueness
You say God is your saviour
But your qualities speak of Judas
Sorry, not trying to be rude
I speak not of depictions
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I speak of love, and my suspicions without frictions
Had we all those times on my shoulder
It aches thinking your love was a façade
Just like your prayers to your God
I was sent your way and O! You were quick to thank him
Man who you adored, which you were fond
Too bad your sincerity was untrustworthy and slim
My challenges served me right
The tests of frightening materialistic events
You said money didn’t matter but that wasn’t true
Getting much offended, I mind you
When I refused to pay for what wasn’t mine
O baby why don’t you cry,
Cry a little more about how I’m such a great guy
Pray to your God and thank him for me
The man that was so perfect but wasn’t keen
Keen on what being a man had to mean
